About the book
A $650,100 lunch with Warren Buffett is one of the turning points in Guy Spier's memoir of moving from Gordon Gekko wannabe to value investor. Spier traces his path from a Harvard MBA and an investment banking job to running his own fund, a road that began with Ben Graham's The Intelligent Investor and led through a meeting with investor Mohnish Pabrai. Among his lessons: the right mentors and partners matter for long-term success, a top education can get in the way, self-knowledge is critical, and Buffett's best lessons concern being true to oneself. He also details his own investments, including deals that went south, in a mix of memoir, Wall Street advice and how-to.
TravelClef co-founder Benjamin Kwan, who is keen on value investing, was reading it as a first step after finding The Intelligent Investor too difficult, planning to return to that classic afterward.

I am currently reading "The Education of a Value Investor- Guy Spier". I am very interested in Value Investing and I tried reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham but it was too difficult for me to understand. So I decided to read this first before revisiting the Holy Grail of Value Investing.
