From Wikipedia: "Warren Edward Buffett (born August 30, 1930) is an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. He is widely considered the most successful investor of the 20th century. Buffett is the chairman, CEO and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway and consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people. He was ranked as the world's wealthiest person in 2008 and as the third wealthiest person in 2011. In 2012, American magazine Time named Buffett one of the most influential people in the world. Buffett is called the "Wizard of Omaha", "Oracle of Omaha", or the "Sage of Omaha" and is noted for his adherence to the value investing philosophy and for his personal frugality despite his immense wealth. Buffett is also a notable philanthropist, having pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune to philanthropic causes, primarily via the Gates Foundation. On April 11, 2012, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, for which he successfully completed treatment in September 2012." Also from Wikipedia: "Alice Schroeder (born December 14, 1956) is an American author, columnist, former senior adviser to Morgan Stanley, and former Wall Street insurance analyst who now serves as an independent board member for Prudential plc. In the first week of October 2008, she published The Snowball, Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, which debuted as a #1 New York Times bestseller. Since 2008, she has been a columnist for Bloomberg News. In 2008 BusinessWeek, chose her alongside Ben Bernanke and Hillary Clinton as one of the "People to Watch in 2008." Snowball was named a finalist at the 2009 Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism and shortlisted for the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Book of the Year. In June 2003, Schroeder, then a managing director at Morgan Stanley, gave up her analyst duties and became an advisory director to the company. At this time, she began to write The Snowball with Buffett s stated cooperation and access to his personal records, an unprecedented level of access. As later recounted in the book, Buffett told Schroeder, where accounts of his life differed, to always use the less flattering version. In researching The Snowball, Schroeder spent 2, 000 hours with Buffett and interviewed 250 other people. The Snowball was published September 29, 2008 and debuted at #1 on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly lists of hardcover nonfiction best-sellers. New York Times reviewer Janet Maslin called it one of her ten favorite books of 2008. Time Magazine and People also named The Snowball one of the ten best books of the year. Other notable best of the year lists on which The Snowball appeared were included those of Publishers Weekly, The Financial Times, BusinessWeek, USA Today, and The Washington Post. The book was named a Top 100 Editor s Pick, the #1 business and investing book, and one of the five best biographies of the year by Amazondotcom editors. After the book s publication, Buffett reportedly stopped speaking to Schroeder, displeased with his portrayal in the book. He canceled the yearly dinner Schroeder hosted in Omaha at which she interviewed him before several hundred people. In a New Republic cover story, author Michael Lewis wrote that Schroeder fit neatly into a pattern in which Buffett brought attractive, intelligent women into his life, but unlike the rest Schroeder had failed to shelter and protect Buffett.".

Biography & Autobiography, The Snowball, The personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as The Oracle of Omahafor fansof the HBO documentary Becoming Warren Buffett Here is the book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett. The legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir, but now he has allowed one writer, Alice Schroeder, unprecedented access to explore directly with him and with those closest to him his work, opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies, and wisdom. Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time he became the world's richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term simple. When Alice Schroeder met Warren Buffett she was an insurance industry analyst and a gifted writer known for her keen perception and business acumen. Her writings on finance impressed him, and as she came to know him she realized that while much had been written on the subject of his investing style, no one had moved beyond that to explore his larger philosophy, which is bound up in a complex personality and the details of his life. Out of this came his decision to cooperate with her on the book about himself that he would never write. Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writer's questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associatesopening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. 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. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time. Praise for The Snowball Even people who don't care a whit about business will be intrigued by this portrait. . . . Schroeder, a former insurance-industry analyst, spent years interviewing Buffett, and the result is a side of the Oracle of Omaha that has rarely been seen. Time Will mesmerize anyone interested in who Mr. Buffett is or how he got that way. The Snowball tells a fascinating story. New York Times If the replication of any great achievement first requires knowledge of how it was done, then The Snowball , the most detailed glimpse inside Warren Buffett and, eBook.
