Business Rhythms featuring Alice Schroeder
Special Event
|
Alice Schroeder is the author of The Snowball, Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, a #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller.
Alice was born in Texas, and she earned an undergraduate degree and her MBA at the University of Texas at Austin before moving east to work in finance. She started to track the story behind the money as a CPA, and former regulator for the Financial Accounting Standards Board. After joining Morgan Stanley, she was the first and only analyst to be granted an interview with the famously reticent Buffett. Telling The New York Times, "I like the way she thinks and writes," Buffett gave Alice unprecedented access -- to his files, family, business associates and himself, devoting massive amounts of his time over the course of five years - to interviews and questions.
The Snowball is a complete -- and revealing -- look at Buffett's life, wisdom and philosophy, from the development of his outlook on the world and the principles he lives by to the business secrets he has never before shared publicly. Written with Buffett's cooperation over five years, it was named Amazon's #1 Business and Investing Book of 2008, one of the 10 best books of the year by TIME, People and one of ten favorites of the year by reviewer Janet Maslin of the New York Times. The Snowball was featured on many other best of the year lists, including Publishers' Weekly, the Financial Times, BusinessWeek, Strategy+Business, and the Washington Post. It was shortlisted for the Goldman Sachs/Financial Times Business Book of the year award and was a finalist for the Gerald Loeb award, the most prestigious award in business journalism.
