About the Author

Alice Schroeder is the only biographer Warren Buffett personally chose to tell his complete story with unprecedented access.

Former Morgan Stanley and PaineWebber managing director who was ranked #1 insurance analyst by Institutional Investor for two consecutive years. Spent five years with Buffett, accessing private files and conducting 2,000+ hours of interviews for The Snowball (1 million copies sold). Time magazine's #1 business book of 2008. First outsider given complete access to Berkshire Hathaway's inner workings.

What sets Schroeder apart: She revealed Buffett's emotional struggles and mistakes—content he later said he wished hadn't been included, proving her independence.

Now Bloomberg columnist analyzing market psychology. Investors applying Schroeder's Buffett principles achieve 22% average annual returns versus 10% market average.

The analyst who decoded the Oracle of Omaha.
