From composer, musician, and philanthropist Peter Buffett comes a warm, wise, and inspirational book that asks, Which will you choose: the path of least resistance or the path of potentially greatest satisfaction?
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 Life Is What You Make It, 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.
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. We confuse privilege with material accumulation, character with external validation. Yet, by focusing more on substance and less on reward, we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment. In clear and concise terms, Buffett reveals a great truth: Life is random, neither fair nor unfair.
From there it becomes easy to recognize the equal dignity and value of every human life—our circumstances may vary but our essences do not. We see that 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 in these challenging moments 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.
Personal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, Life Is What You Make It is about transcending your circumstances, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living your life to the fullest.
PETER BUFFETT is an Emmy Award-winning composer and producer and cochairman of the NoVo Foundation. Buffett began his career in San Francisco writing music for commercials.

评分以作者本身的背景来说,此书很有局限性,就像一个根本不知道胖是什么滋味的人跟想减肥的人说教
如果不是有来自出版社的老师推荐,我看到这本书的封面时一定就被吓走了,连翻都不会翻。 一方面这书的封面装帧实在太媚俗(尤其是那个皇冠),另一方面,我对什么股神巴菲特也好什么李开复也好没啥特别的感觉——跟我毫无关系嘛……前几天在上海书展服务,有同来的小女生想溜班...
评分 这些天,把彼得.巴菲特写的《做你自己》这本书看完了。大家一般都知道大名鼎鼎的投资大师沃伦.巴菲特,而本书的作者彼得.巴菲特是沃伦.巴菲特的小儿子。看完此书后,把我的感想和体会和大家分享一下: 人生最大的财富就是能做自己。彼得.巴菲特没有继承其父亲的衣钵成为华...

评分Peter的确很真诚地和我们交流了成长的心路历程,这种真诚值得敬佩;在可读性上则没那么好;整个书的逻辑条理也不怎么好。但完全可当作一个值得信赖的朋友和你聊了半天他的成长感悟。从书中来看,Peter的个人修养和品德倒是没得说了。
评分第一次看这种书,虽然是跳跃式阅读还是想夸夸自己阅读面开始扩大了一点点 说实话,粗略看后觉得有些浪费时间,不是我喜欢的类型,觉得很多东西get不到他的点,但是最后 还是能感觉作者是真的度过了很好的一生,不仅因为他父亲是股神巴菲特,还因为他健康,温暖的家庭环境,以及...
