this book is awesome mr. buffet tells it the way it is about wallstreet you have to look before you leep I think it should be read by every young person, the book is great book to take to the park .well printed first class binding.his rules are the ones to follow look for honest people with passion. I know he gets goodwill&how important it is. that's lacking at every websight iv'e been to so far as shoping. no complantes yet about amazon.my problem with net sights when thay do wrong thay act like nothing happens. yeah I hate e-bay can't wate till thay fall after the split.what a bad sight pick up a historic bike for $2200 it was $3000 all day gets smashed why don't get more involved.bad phone yeah I think amazon is going this direction yeah the music service thay don't know what thay have.but that's what happens when yer in the fish bowl. yeah the sight has ragtime mixed in with the rap how can this happen .no passion you can tell so many rapers I love on disk don't have em disappointing!!! I think it's going the way of e-bay.yeah not going talk amazon stock.cus that' not fair but read the book&then you will know what to do.with the simple rules thay work cus I live by em' not buffet retuns yet cus mr.buffet rewards for what you do&know rather than conections that's why he's respected by all. because he smart surounds him self with who he can trust.& he gives credit ware a credit ware it's due. yeah it seams simple but simple works. im' going to read it many times over I think every ceo should read it. how to run things properly.& the most important is Charlie munger mr .buffet always is talking how important Charlie is that's lacking in most e-sights thay don't have a frend to tell them no when something not working. that's the problem how much is good will worth.a lot more than people think. brand loyalty coke all it is sugar water but it has a cult following why? because people have a good memory with a coke. that's the problem do you go for the short lick. or do you create good will.in the e shoping world it's all about the short lick. that's why wards failed because of this& one day yer like i'll try the new sight or store because thay don't value me as person or my cash. I will go elese ware. this also happed with sears. buying the wrong stuff no passion.so many things to watch in retail. that's why if you snooze you lose. but the most important thing most ceo's don't learn is get people with passion for what thay do is this happeing at amazon yes&no I see things that could be beter that's for shure im' talking the music sight. not the stock!!! but again do you own research&deside. a few lessons for investors&managers is a must read...because it has life lessons what you do will follow you shortsighted whatever people will vote with there feet&leave simple...what you reep you shall soe ect ect. note to readers no problems yet with amazon but im' shocked how bad thay did prime day happy I never buy into the hype so im'happy...yeah again great book...

Not what I expected

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016

Some good teachings from Warren Buffet, presented in an interesting format, but, sincerely, not the book I was expecting. For someone who has read all of Buffets letters to investors, this books is just a recollection of some ideas and thoughts deemed relevant to Peter Bevelin.

If you want quick look into Buffets letters, this book is ok, but if you want something more profound, I would suggest simply reading Buffet's letters directly on his website.

This book is a fantastic starting point for the earliest of beginners as well as a reminder for sophisticated investors & business owners.

Most business books fall under the category of way too many words for too few ideas or just flat out bad advice. With a flood of noise it is easy to look past and forget the simple things that actually matter for a business. This book contains no filler, just concise, proven advice.

Prior to this I had read Alice Schroeder & Roger Lowenstein's Warren Buffet biographies. I've read Poor Charlie's Almanack (granted it is Charlie Munger, but there is plenty of Buffet ideas in it), besides watching an unknown number of hours of interviews and Berkshire Hathaway shareholder's meetings. I still found tremendous value reading through this.

Perhaps the best summary of what this book provides would be something along the lines of piercing the smoke and mirrors of investing and reaching a point where you can actually acquire value rather than transfer it to someone else. Reading Warren Buffet's advice is no substitute for hard work. Instead, this should give you a sense of direction on where to go and what to avoid.

This book was recommended to me and I believe it was worth the read. However if you have a in depth knowledge about financial literacy you might see it as a waist of time but then again I don't have a problem with reading content over again. A lot of good value lessons in the book any financial person personal or corporate can use.

Peter Belevin is very talented and has a great taste when it comes to writing and composing books of wisdom.
This particular book is the finest concentrated Buffett wisdom "handbook" you can get. It is very well researched, cleverly organized, clear, usefull and practical to read. Belevin's choices on every topic are absolutely essential, giving you the core of Buffett's investing wit & wisdom. This is a top quality book with intelectual finesse and trully exceptional work.
If you are into investing & business it is definetely worth your time.

Great study guide for anyone in a leadership position within business.

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

Great pieces of advice for anyone who is a manager or owns a business. This should be read often just to serve as a reminder on how to manage. This isn't a book in the typical sense, it's more of documenting quotes or sound bites on how to what two great business minds think about companies they have and will acquire.
