review 1: When you talk about passion, Warren Buffett is considered "lucky." He has understood his passion since he was eight. His years afterwards describes how he live his passion as a sacred thing. Tap Dancing to Work is a collection of published articles and writing about Warren Buffet life. With a wide span, from 1960s until 2012, we can see how his career and personal life grow. Tap Dancing to Work is a great alternative literature for us to understand about Warren Buffett, beside 2 of his biographies, Snowball and The Making of American Capitalist.
review 2: An excellent and surprising book - much more a trove of stories about the humble, generous, and delightful man than a book about investing, but you certainly learn a thing or two along the way, as well as gain... more a deep sense of respect for the Oracle of Omaha. It helps that the author is his long-time friend and journalist Carol Loomis; she approaches the story from the human perspective rather than a fawning catalogue of his amazing successes. Still, I finished the book feeling less clever and knowledgeable than I did when I started - I couldn't help but see how little I know and how deep Buffett's knowledge runs. It's made me far more interested in fundamental valuation than I had been when I started; next on my list is Benjamin Graham's book. It also makes me wish that I could be a guest at "Uncle Buffett"'s dinner table once a month or two, just to hear more of his wisdom and hear his pithy one-liners. less
