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.

读后感

 这些天，把彼得.巴菲特写的《做你自己》这本书看完了。大家一般都知道大名鼎鼎的投资大师沃伦.巴菲特，而本书的作者彼得.巴菲特是沃伦.巴菲特的小儿子。看完此书后，把我的感想和体会和大家分享一下： 人生最大的财富就是能做自己。彼得.巴菲特没有继承其父亲的衣钵成为华...  

这个世界可以真诚地告诉你些东西的人真的不多了，作为豪门之子写的这本书，刚才看了下大家对成书的意见，几乎都觉得这本书装帧很差，书籍内容逻辑混乱，但是我还是要推荐他。 ”做你自己“这话对我而言真的很少听过，当我面对选择时，很少有父母会郑重其事走到我面前告诉我要做...  

就算知道了这个道理，也很难实现dream。 世人总忙着赶路，哪有时间用来发现passion。 生存的压力，让我们不得不害怕落于他人之后。恐怕说是寻找梦想，还有背负不孝的罪名。 人总是容易被局限在眼前的利益，很难跳出牢笼，去高瞻远瞩。而且看得太远又容易掉进好高骛远的圈套。 ...  

这本书逻辑思维顺序很紧凑，篇幅章节安排的很好。一个人想要成功，从价值观开始，到最后回馈社会，顺理成章。正能量的一本书，告诉我们信任、宽容、尊重以及回馈。还要热情与专注，寻找自尊、自信、寻求内心的平静。这本书也适合给作为父母的看，传递给下一代最重要的... ...
