Descripci�n

As new condition white boards, textured foam green spine, and white spine lettering contained in a fine condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; Introduction; Epilogue: Begin It Now; and Acknowledgments. "Wise and inspiring . should be required reading." - Bill Clinton. "Life is What You Make It is the ultimate book of common sense -- except it isn't common. Because Peter Buffett could have had a derived identity and chose not to, he has power and credibility when he tells us how to find a unique self by doing what we love. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't benefit from this spirited, wise, and friendly book." -- Gloria Steinem. "With homespun, heartfelt wisdom, Peter Buffett ponders how to make a meaningful life while making a living. [The book] is thought-provoking, worthwhile reading." -- Ted Turner. "Knowing and admiring Peter as we do, [the book] captures his spirit, passion, and values sbeautifully. As parents, it's the kind of dialogue about our life's purpose and opportunity we're having with our children. We will have everyone in our family read and discuss Life Is What You Make It." -- Bill and Melinda Gates. "There is a famous quotation from the [Gospel according to] Luke that was taken very seriously in our family: From those to whom much has been given, much is expected. And it was made very clear that the most important gifts of all had nothing to do with money. There were the gifts of parental love and close community and warm friendship, of inspiring teachers and mentors who took delight in our development. There were the mysterious gifts of talent and competence, capacity for empathy and hard work. These gifts were meant to be respected and repaid." -- from the Introduction and inner front jacket flap. "You may think that with a last name like his, Peter Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. To be sure, the fortunate son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett has benefited from his father's accomplishments. But unlike the Walton clan, who split the family fortune, the Buffett children received only a modest inhereitance when they turned nineteen, and their dad famously pledged to give the bulk of the estate to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The real inheritance Peter Buffett's parents handed down to him was a philosophy on how to live a meaningful life: Repay the gifts that have been bestowed upon you and forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions and establish his own identity as both a composer and philanthropist. Here, Buffett expounds on this strong set of values. Personal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, [the book] is about transcending your circumstances, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living your life to the fullest." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
