The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life

The legendary Omaha investor has sworn never to write a memoir, but now has allowed one writer unprecedented access to explore directly with him and those closest to him his work,
opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies and wisdom. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes:
He set out to prove that nice guys finish first, and over the years has treated his investors as partners and championed honesty to all. At the same time he became the world’s richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett’s legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people’s lives.
