*Countless books have been written about him, but The Essays of Warren Buffett (first published in 1997) is the only edited compendium of writings from the ‘Sage of Omaha’ himself.

*Buffett’s eagerly anticipated annual letters to shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway contain valuable insights into his philosophy and idiosyncratic investing style, plus many simple nuggets of wisdom that everyone – multimillionaire or not – can benefit from.

*Despite their age, the basic lessons in these essays have not dated. His overarching message, unusual yet undeniably successful, is that if you work with people you like and trust, and the financial fundamentals are sound, prosperity will take care of itself.

*The example set by the esteemed CEO himself, who still lives in his birthplace, Omaha, Nebraska, in the house he bought in the 1950s, remains a truly inspiring one.
