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.

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.

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...
评分对于想从此书找到方法的人难免失望,连作者自己都承认,在驾驭人生方面没有特殊专长,也不认为自己彻悟了人生的奥秘,更无雄心要扮演心灵导师的角色。 我读此书的目的就是从家庭教育这个侧面,去了解赫赫有名的股神,了解他的想法和所作所为,他是一个睿智的父亲和家庭教师。...
评分用词简单,谈的话题,论述也简单,六级水平妥妥够了。

评分其实和做一行爱一行的理念有冲突
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
