Warren’s advice is the bait: I want to be a billionaire too. Then reality sets in. Weeks later, it feels dry —relentlessly dry. Endless sentences packed with 80 words, 10 verbs, constant detours, layers of hidden meaning. Dense, demanding, exhausting. The excitement fades. Inevitably. Five hundred pages in, nothing seems to stick, and the dream of making money through investing begins to slip away. Listen... Focus on Jason Zweig’s commentary. Find the chapter everyone mentions. Take the core idea —and throw the rest into the fire.
The best: The perfect gift —for your worst enemy.
The worst: Apologies, Warren. Charlie. CNBC… Couldn’t decipher it.
