The big idea
For decades Warren Buffett has written an annual letter to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway, the holding company he built with his partner Charlie Munger. The letters became famous for their plain language, humour and good sense. Lawrence Cunningham, a law professor, took that material and rearranged it by theme rather than by year, turning scattered letters into a coherent guide to how Buffett thinks about business, investing and corporate governance. The book has been updated through several editions since it first appeared.
The full summary continues with the five ideas worth keeping, three things to try this week, the 5-minute deep dive and our full verdict, as a PDF to keep.
