how to: Invest like Warren Buffett
with Jonathan Davis
Warren Buffett, often dubbed The Sage of Omaha, is
widely recognised as the most brilliant investor of the
modern era. A single $10,000 investment in his
original investment partnership would today, if
reinvested in his investment company Berkshire
Hathaway, be worth more than $500m. Its shares
have risen 10x in value over the last 20 years alone.
Buffett himself remains in the top five of the annual
Forbes Rich List, despite pledging to give away more
than $30 billion of his fortune to charity in the last

how to: Inspiration. Moments of Insight that Shape
Our World.
with William B. Irvine
Insights sometimes hit us like a bolt from the blue.
For Archimedes, clarity struck while he was taking a
bath. For Gustav Mahler, it came as the blades of his
oars touched the water. And for Albert Einstein, it
emerged while he was talking to a friend. Why do
these moments of insight strike so suddenly? Why
do they so often come to us when we are focused on
something completely unrelated? And when great
ideas "come to" us, where do they come from?
Drawing on his latest book — Aha!: The Moments of
Insight that Shape Our World, philosopher...
