Warren Buffett didn't just teach us how to pick stocks. He showed us how to build a life - with patience, integrity and a long runway for compounding.
This collection tells 36 of the greatest stories from his life and career, as a tribute in a Charlie Munger-style voice - the way his partner of more than 60 years might have told them. It follows five parts:
- The Early Years - his first stock at 11, a pinball business in a barbershop, and knocking on GEICO's door on a Saturday.
- The Partnership - Sanborn Map, American Express and the salad oil scandal, and the Berkshire Hathaway mistake made out of spite.
- Building Berkshire - National Indemnity, The Washington Post, a handshake deal with Mrs. B, and a 50-year wait to buy Coca-Cola.
- Character and Wisdom - Salomon, the inner scorecard, the ovarian lottery, and the 20-punch card.
- Big Bets and Final Lessons - "Buy American. I Am.", the railroad, the million-dollar index fund bet, and the snowball.
The goal isn't to memorize what Buffett did. It's to understand the principle behind each story - and ask how it applies to your own investing, business and life.
The GetRicher Question
Before your next investment, ask yourself: "Would I be happy to own this for ten years if the market closed tomorrow?"
Buffett's biggest edge was never speed or information. It was temperament - the patience to wait, the discipline to say no, and the integrity to be trusted.
Narrated in a Munger-style voice as a tribute. These are not actual recordings of Charlie Munger or Warren Buffett.
