Why Buffett recommends it

I also recommend Forty Chances by my son, Howard. You’ll enjoy it.

— Warren Buffett
2013 shareholder letter · published in 2014 ↗

This is a son’s book he explicitly recommended.

Buffett explicitly recommended the book in his meeting-bookstall introduction and said readers would enjoy it. He also wrote its foreword. The letter’s brief endorsement does not explain which parts he most admired.

OUR READING

Why is it worth reading?

For readers curious about wealth and the next generation, his son’s work offers a concrete starting point: how to take responsibility and confront the difficulty of helping. That is a reading perspective, not a claim about his father’s private motives.

Who this book is for

Readers curious about Buffett’s family, the purpose of wealth or practical philanthropy.

A way into the book

Start with a farming story and compare the original assumptions with what the work actually taught him.
