About this title

Review:

Most people come to know of Warren Buffett through his ability to generate wealth. However, as Janet Lowe reveals in her book, Warren Buffett Speaks, Buffett is more than a money-making machine. Warren Buffett Speaks is a library of notes and quotes that have been collected over the years, aimed at revealing the many aspects of the World's Greatest Investor--his wit, personality, and wisdom. The first half of the book deals with Buffett's view of life, family, and friends, while the latter half focuses on Buffett's investment philosophy and observations about the market. This book is a must for every Buffettologist.

From the Publisher:

This collection of aphorisms and anecdotes reveals Warren Buffett in his own words.

Readers will laugh and learn from the down-to-earth millionaire's business smarts and unique sense of humor. A tribute to Buffett's all-American personality and extraordinary business success, this witty and wise ensemble covers everything from friends and family to business and investing.
