“Earning Serendipity” is a book that illustrates a entirely new way of thinking about your business and everyday life. Great work Glenn! Glenn Llopis, your book offers more down -to-earth, practical and commonsense knowledge versus most other books that try to sell me unrealistic concepts. Earning Serendipity is a constant incentive and perennial source of inspiration for go-getters. It allowed me to experience my goals and taught me the meaning of success in simple ways that benefited me and those around me. I am motivated to take actions in the right way not the easy way Glenn, your book changed my life forever!

I just finished reading, "The Big Gamble," written by Jose Roncal and Jose Abbo- a very insightful book that taught me no matter what Wall Street says, nearly any so-called "investment" is in reality speculative – even those thought of as "safe" like T-bills, mutual funds or even savings accounts. Since I am still so new to investing, I have been looking other books to read and am excited to check out your book also.

Without a doubt, Mr. Buffett is an expert in the field of investing who is worth following. I find that reading the shareholder reports of Berkshire to be very informative. In fact, for those who may be on a tight budget like me, it may be worth it to include reading these reports and gaining the best investing insight directly from the source.

I recently started my investment journey and I like the principles and concepts that he has followed throughout his career. Feel free to stop by when you get a moment.

These are interesting books, but before one starts to climb their financial Mt. Everest, they need to have solid grounding. That said, they need to have a plan and these introspective books will get them to a place they can “safely” begin that wealth building Journey

“The Total Money Makeover” – Dave Ramsey
“Thou Shall Prosper” – Rabbi Daniel Lapin
“Millionaire Next Door” – Thomas Stanley
“No More Mondays” – Dan Miller

I know that WEB openly endorses Graham and Fisher. He had read John Burr Williams as a young man too. He also like the Enron Book, Smartest guys …, The other books, he may have mentioned in his Annual Meeting and word of mouth quickly prevails, everyone there hangs on his every word.

Am I the only one to notice that this list of Ten Books has 11 books in it?
The books look good, but can anybody offer a source or a reference where Buffet really recommended these?

You can definitely confirm that Buffet’s read and implements books/tools by Graham, Dodd, and Fisher. That’s for sure.

well, you have to search through the annual meeting minutes; they’re there plus a bunch more, such as Old Charlie’s Almanack

I’m with Aleron. Is there any means of confirming that Buffet recommended these books? We don’t know if he’s ever even read these books, much less recommended others to do so.

Any means of citing a source?

Personally – I’d probably start with The Intelligent Investor – a staple on any value investor’s bookshelf. Then move on to Security Analysis followed by Fisher’s Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits. Then I’d move on to Fisher’s other book and the rest from then on.
