“Warren Buffet is one of those people who seems to have a magic touch. It’s almost as if he’s aware of certain universal secrets that nobody else is privy to! I love learning more about what made him so successful (he memorized textbooks?!) and trying to figure out what makes him tick.” – Ben S., Head of Audio at Blinkist
Alice Schroeder began her career as an insurance analyst before taking Warren Buffett’s suggestion and becoming a full-time writer. She is currently a columnist for Bloomberg News. The Snowball was named one of the ten best books of 2008 by Time magazine.
