I recently re-read Roger Lowenstein's biography, Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist (first published in 1995 and now re-issued with a new Afterword), and then read this more recent one by Alice Schroeder. Both are first-rate. Which to select if reading only one? That depends on how much you wish to know about Buffett's personal life, including his relations with various family members, and how curious you are about his personal hang-ups, peculiarities, eccentricities, fetishes, etc. If you can do without any of that, Roger Lowenstein's biography is the one to read. I also highly recommend the recently published Second Edition of The Essays of Warren Buffet: Lessons for Corporate America, with content selected, arranged, and ... Read More: >>More Details |

Although this book is marketed as a Business book, it has a much wider appeal. It offers some very interesting glimpses into how Richard Branson runs his companies, as well as some of the global issues that he believes in.
During the course of the book, he outlines how he first started in business, and how he grew Virgin Records from very little. He also gives insights into the mobile phone business, his airlines, and even space travel. It's interesting to discover that Richard does not view `Virgin' as one large company, but rather as a brand.. each section runs as a separate business, with it's own team. Richard also believes strongly in a happy workforce, and those he employs often move amongst the various businesses, especially ... Read More: >>More Details |

I bought this book whilst I was traveling in Asia and found mysef unable to put in down. The book goes right from his boarding school days right through to him setting up the world elders. Although the book leaves out no detail I thought that there would be more on his actual thoughs and feelings. However I would recomed this book to anyone it's full of adventure both in bussiness and Bransons record attemts. U cant read this book without loving his attitude and making u feel like there's something we all can do to change the world. A truly well written and unlifting book.

What They Teach You at Harvard Business School: My Two Years Inside the Cauldron of Capitalismby: Philip Delves Broughton August 07, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Business and Finance |

I believe that this is an interesting read for anybody who is considering an MBA at Harvard Business School and where Mr Broughton describes the teaching and details of the MBA the book is informative and useful.
The main problem I had with the book is the complete lack of Mr Broughton's understanding of his own situation. If you are a journalist and work at the Paris office of a UK newspaper you are definitely on the right career track and the decision to try out something else might be understandable but if you choose Harvard Business School you must be very naive to wait for the professor or tutor to tell you that the most important thing in the world should be your family and a reasonable work-life balance. That is comparable to a legal trainee ... Read More: >>More Details |

Quite a good interesting book at the beginning, but faded towards the end, the last chapter is of no inspiration to any would be entrepreneur. I sympathize with the fall of the business, but someone who has clearly lost what they passionately loved and still carrying certain resentment in my opinion would not be an ideal person to be seeking guidance from, possibly in the future when all has cleared then who knows.

Jordan Belfort was living proof of the American dream in the heady days of Wall Street. Nicknamed the "Wolf of Wall Street", he lived in a fabulous mansion, with his beautiful wife and child, flew his helicopter, indulged in copious amounts of drugs, all while running a busy brokerage firm, Stratton Oakmount, which he had founded.
Stratton Oakmount found fame as one of the biggest "boiler room" brokerage firms. Belfort was eventually convicted of selling purpotedly profitable stocks at inflated prices and spent two years in jail. This book attempts to tell the tale of his high life and how it all fell apart around him as his drug addiction spiralled out of control. There is no doubting what this man, and his company did, was odious. But as you read the book, ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is an excellent look at the investment style of Warren Buffett. It is extremely well written and very clear, I'd even go so far to say that you don't need an in-depth knowledge of maths to understand the principles outlined in this book as they are explained so clearly, with many examples based on Buffetts own techniques and actual stock/business purchases. It has a slight biographical quality about it as well, which is great for that deeper understanding of Buffett and what has motivated and shaped his thinking. Of all the investment books i've read, this is one of the most accessible and useful. A great introduction to Buffett and value investing. Highly, highly recommended. If this piqued your interest try 'The Essays of Warren Buffett' by Lawrence Cunningham for some brilliant ... Read More:

This book is another by David Ogilvy that was a pleasure to read from cover to cover. It's great fun, wittily written, and full of good points. The advertisements are, of course, rather different from those we are used to seeing today, but the thinking and approach are as relevant as ever.
