<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Composer, musician, and philanthropist Peter Buffett, son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett, says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes. Today's society, Buffett posits, has begun to replace a work ethic, relishing what you do, with a wealth ethic, honoring the payoff instead of the process. Yet, by focusing more on substance and less on reward, we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment. Our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts, crises, and blunders. How we push through and persevere is where we begin to create the life of our dreams--from discovering our vocations, to living out our bliss, to giving back to others--From publisher description.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes. In <i>Life Is What</i> <i>You Make It, </i>Buffett expounds on the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother, his industrious and talented father, and the many life teachers he has met along the way.<br /> <br />Peter Buffett, autor de este libro, podría haber seguido los pasos de su padre, el multimillonario estadunidense Warren Buffett. De hecho, tenía todo para conquistar el éxito en el mismo terreno que su progenitor: educación, carácter, iniciativa y apoyo financiero. Sin embargo, él prefirió escuchar el llamado de su vocación y triunfar en sus propios términos y mediante sus recursos interiores. El autor revela aquí la verdad fundamental que ha guiado su extraordinaria trayectoria vital y que puede transformar la existencia del lector. Estamos ante un libro personal y revelador que nos invita a trascender el círculo de las necesidades inmediatas y las ideas preconcebidas (sobre nosotros y sobre la realidad) para lanzarnos a la aventura que supone tomar las riendas de nuestro destino y vivir al máximo.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Knowing and admiring Peter as we do, <i>Life Is What You Make It</i> captures his spirit, passion, and values beautifully.
