Product Information
Here is THE audiobook 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. The result is the personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as "The Oracle of Omaha." 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 associates-opening 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 audiobook tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.

Reviews
"This quintessentially American tale about the ultimate self-made man-and in some ways the least changed… [Is] the definitive portrait of a complex man…Should become a Bible for capitalists."-Washington Post "Mr. Buffett made a smart choice when he chose Alice Schroeder as his Boswell.... A writer able to keep pace with the wild swerves in the Buffett story and the intricacies of Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway business empire. Ms. Schroeder is as insightful about her subject's precise anticipation of current financial crises as she is about his quirky personal story. And she is a clear explicator of fiscal issues."-New York Times "The mandatory book to read in these treacherous times of financial crisis."-Forbes "Timing aside, Schroeder has written a surprisingly good book, 'surprisingly' because even with a surfeit of minutiae about Buffett's private life and one deal after another, she still writes with a deft touch and keeps the narrative moving. While she clearly has Buffett's blessing and cooperation, she manages to be blunt in her assessment of him.......he may not be the easiest person to know personally, but he has lived a life worth studying and in Schroeder has found someone uniquely able to tell his story."-Los Angeles Times From the Hardcover edition., "The mandatory book to read in these treacherous times of financial crisis.…A thoughtful and intimate biography of the globe's wisest investor." Forbes "Will mesmerize anyone interested in who Mr. Buffett is or how he got that way."The Snowballtells a fascinating story."New York Times "If the replication of any great achievement first requires knowledge of how it was done, thenThe Snowball, the most detailed glimpse inside Warren Buffett and his world that we likely will ever get, should become a Bible for capitalists." -Washington Post "Anyone who has been watching events unfold in recent monthswhich would be everyonecan now appreciate the wisdom of Buffett....The most authoritative portrait of one of the most important American investors of our time."Los Angeles Times "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 Magazine "Schroeder, a former analyst, has a meat-and-potatoes style that matches the homespun wisdom of her subject...Now more than ever, Buffett's emphasis on fundamentals seems like genius. It's the perfect moment for a great book on an immensely inspiring capitalist."People,four stars "Schroeder, a former investment analyst, is well equipped to elucidate Buffett's deals…[and] Buffett's life abounds with good stories." -The New Yorker "An instructive chronicle of financial success at a moment when financial failure is on everyone's mind....All you wanted to know about Warren Buffettand more."-Wall Street Journal "You will learn a lot about one of the nation's most compelling and important men from readingThe Snowball." -Boston Globe "InThe Snowball, novice biographer Alice Schroeder gives us one of the most detailed, candid life stories ever published…It is almost impossible to stop reading." -Christian Science Monitor "A penetrating and personal look at the Oracle of Omaha…An astute, and at times riveting, readespecially now."-BusinessWeek "Everyone knows that in a deep and liquid capital market like that of the US, it is just about impossible to beat the stock market averages over anything more than the short term. But Buffett has been ahead of the curve for most of the past 50 years, making him one of the world's richest people. Alice Schroeder's massive authorized biography,The Snowball, provides some clues about how he's done it." -Financial Times "In this startlingly frank account of Buffett's life, Schroeder, a former managing director at Morgan Stanleyand hand picked by Buffett to be his biographerstrips away the mystery that has long cloaked the word's richest man to reveal a life and fortune erected around lucid and inspired business vision and unimaginable personal complexity." -Publishers Weekly "This massiveand highly readabletext (produced with Buffett's full cooperation) is an unvarnished and well-paced biography that is essential for all public and academic business collections." -Library Journal &
