About this listen
What happens when a young Wall Street investment banker spends a small fortune to have lunch with Warren Buffett? He becomes a real value investor. In this fascinating inside story, Guy Spier details his career from Harvard MBA to hedge fund manager. But the path was not so straightforward. Spier reveals his transformation from a Gordon Gekko wannabe, driven by greed, to a sophisticated investor who enjoys success without selling his soul to the highest bidder. Spier's journey is similar to the thousands that flock to Wall Street every year with their shiny new diplomas, aiming to be King of Wall Street. Yet what Guy realized just in the nick of time was that the King really lived 1,500 miles away in Omaha, Nebraska. Spier determinedly set out to create a new career in his own way. Along the way he learned some powerful lessons which include: why the right mentors and partners are critical to long term success on Wall Street; why a topnotch education can sometimes get in the way of your success; that real learning doesn't begin until you are on your own; and how the best lessons from Warren Buffett have less to do with investing and more to do with being true to yourself. Spier also reveals some of his own winning investment strategies, detailing deals that were winners but also what he learned from deals that went south. Part memoir, part Wall Street advice, and part how-to, Guy Spier takes readers on a ride through Wall Street but more importantly provides those that want to take a different path with the insight, guidance, and inspiration they need to carve out their own definition of success.

Very deep and insightful
If you’re looking for a “how to get rich” book or even “how to invest in the stock market” look elsewhere. This book is Guy’s personal journey in life, including his investment successes and mistakes (more mistakes than successes!). He bravely opens up and he’s not afraid to expose himself to the audience, admitting his flaws and mistakes and his endless mission to be a better version of himself. He inspires you how to be a better person, and the byproduct of it is to become a better investor.
Highly recommended!

Must read
This book gives such depth and insight into the trails and tribulations of the financial word, beyond that Guy’s journey of self discovery is truly something we should all attempt to emulate.

Great listen
A great insight into the mindset of a value investor. More of a self help book than a guide to investing.

enjoyable, informative & thought-provoking
Having only recently been introduced to Guy and his Aquamarine Fund from an interview with Brandon from the "New Money" YouTube channel, I was intrigued enough from the sample to investigate. Lots of great info about how Guy has personally travelled through his investment journey and shaped his personality to become happier and more successful. I really appreciated the intersection between emotions, personal success and wealth this book explores. Quite heavy on the well-worn Buffett references, but you expect that. I'd recommend this title overall, and will probably give it another listen through.

Good story overall
The storyline was not complex and provided great insight into value investing, the lessons learned makes it difficult to apply due to the author’s accessibility to key resources which are not have available to the general public in my opinion; still worthwhile insight.

Fascinating story of how a value investor ticks
Took me little time to finish as it's well.suited to being listened to.
Rather than a framework for investing this is all about the journey of an accomplished value investor.
There is emphasis on gaining perspective, setting your own standards and thinking bigger that will help me immediately.
