Just yesterday, I finished reading/listening to two great books: Snowball and Outliers, and thought that you would appreciate reading a quick summary.
Snowball is a biography of Warren Buffet, covering his life in quite a lot of detail. The writer does a great job of keeping the story interesting and enlightening. My only complaint is that it does not cover enough of his successful investment decisions. I highly recommended for anyone who is interested in investing and making a difference in the world.
Outliers is a third book by Malcolm Gladwell (Tipping Point and Blink). In this book, he focuses on factors which enabled successful people to become successful. His claim in this book is that successful people are given help and opportunity in the course of their life, thus helping them to achieve such great success. Gladwell covers some other cultural and quirky factors which tilt the odds in favour of some people, while negatively affecting others. This is good book and an interesting read that will make you think. What else can you ask for from a book!
