National Award-Winning Book on Warren Buffett Changed My Financial and Personal Life. Dr. Todd A. Finkle wrote this book over a period of 14 years. It’s part Biography, Investment Methodology, and Lessons Learned on how to be a better person. Dr. Finkle grew up with the Buffetts in Omaha and went to high school with Peter Buffett. Dr. Finkle has been out to lunch with Warren Buffett three times and attended the last 14 Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder’s Meetings. He actually presented at three conferences during the 2023 Meeting and one of his talks was streamed to 500,000 people. Dr. Finkle states that he wants to make a difference in people’s lives by helping them financially. He does this in the book by reviewing Value Investing and Valuation (Benjamin Graham & Phil Fisher) in three chapters. What is especially valuable is he takes you through a step-by-step process of Berkshire Hathaway’s initial purchase of Apple, Inc. He then takes you through all of Buffett’s investment strategies including all of his qualitative and quantitative factors. In the process of doing this he defines all of the ratios and explains what they mean. He finishes with the actual valuation of Apple. The beauty of this is its relatable to everyone with any background. Dr. Finkle also has an entire chapter devoted to Warren Buffett’s “21 INVESTMENT MISTAKES.” He combines this with another chapter that focuses on the history of Behavioral Finance and seven of the most prominent biases that hinder our investment decision making. He applies the biases to Buffett’s mistakes so we can all learn from them. Perhaps the biggest takeaways in the book are how to live a better life. Dr. Finkle integrates Dale Carnegie, Charlie Munger, Benjamin Franklin, Tom Murphy and Buffett’s own lessons he’s learned throughout his life. Entrepreneurship is also a theme throughout the book. He takes you through the entrepreneurial ventures from his childhood to his partnership years and using corporate entrepreneurship to grow Berkshire Hathaway. Dr. Finkle’s last chapter examines FinTech, digital currencies, blockchain and cryptocurrencies. He also looks at some of the critiques of Buffett especially the more recent performance versus the S&P 500. Succession is addressed as well as the Board of Directors and what the future holds. All in all an excellent book, well written, excellent publisher (Columbia University Press) with extremely valuable information.

Awesome book. Ive read a few from this author and he does a very good job of communicating the information to readers at all levels of investing and entrepreneurship.

New perspective!. I loved reading about Finkle's Omaha connection to Buffett and his personal perspective on the world's greatest investor. No author before this has looked at Buffett through an entrepreneurial lens and Finkle does it beautifully. This is a must-read for those who want to learn more about Buffett's investment methodology, the equally important area of behavioral finance, and Buffett's personal philosophy on creating a rewarding life. Finkle reminds us that when making investment decisions, valuing a company is not enough. Behavioral biases can lead an investor to make mistakes. Finkle identifies these biases and shares the key lessons Buffett learned from his mistakes. Finkle provides the reader with a fresh perspective about Warren Buffett, the person, and how his background and mentors led him down an entrepreneurial path. You'll enjoy this book!
