书籍简介：

From composer, musician, and philanthropist Peter Buffett comes a warm, wise, and inspirational book that asks, Which will you choose: the path of least resistance or the path of potentially greatest satisfaction? You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes. In Life Is What You Make It, Buffett expounds on the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother, his industrious and talented father, and the many life teachers he has met along the way. Today’s society, Buffett posits, has begun to replace a work ethic, relishing what you do, with a wealth ethic, honoring the payoff instead of the process. We confuse privilege with material accumulation, character with external validation. Yet, by focusing more on substance and less on reward, we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment. In clear and concise terms, Buffett reveals a great truth: Life is random, neither fair nor unfair. From there it becomes easy to recognize the equal dignity and value of every human life—our circumstances may vary but our essences do not. We see that our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts, crises, and blunders. How we push through and persevere in these challenging moments is where we begin to create the life of our dreams—from discovering our vocations to living out our bliss to giving back to others. Personal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, Life Is What You Make It is about transcending your circumstances, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living your life to the fullest.

书友短评：

@ 小R 其实和做一行爱一行的理念有冲突 @ Chessy For a person with a true work-vocation, doing equals being. 做自己热爱的 @ 忻 seek @ Cabiria 看简介似乎还不错，当年也是畅销书，尤其在中国。看封面还是读原著吧，译作不敢碰。思考人生的好书太多，这个先放一放。 @ 做分析的麦克 最快读原版书记录：大概4天半时间就读完了。作为沃伦巴菲特的儿子，没有因为自己所享受的特殊地位而沾沾自喜，选择父母希望儿女选择的道路。而是选择自己认为合适的路，用巴菲特儿子的话说生于富贵之家，背后可能悬着一把银色的匕首。价值观，人生观，世界观，如何定义别人认为的成功，和自己心中的成功，面对诱惑到底应该如何选择？每个人可能有自己的答案。推荐 @ 二青 For a person with a true work-vocation, doing equals being. 做自己热爱的
