When Warren Buffett Was 7 Years Old, He Read This 1 Book. It Inspired His Whole Career
It's 83 years old, but I found it and read it. (Plus 5 more things worth reading today.)
When Warren Buffett was 7, he read a book called One Thousand Ways to Make $1,000. Read it to pieces, in fact. He became obsessed.
Decades ago, Fortune ran a profile that described him as having "virtually memorized" it.
First published in 1936, One Thousand Ways has been out of print for decades. But last year, I found it and read it.
