For the first time the complete financial history of Berkshire Hathaway is available under one cover in chronological format. Beginning at the origins of the predecessor companies in the textile industry, the reader can examine the development of the modern-day conglomerate year-by-year and decade-by-decade, watching as the struggling textile company morphs into what it has become today.

This comprehensive analysis distils over 10,000 pages of research material, including Buffett's Chairman's letters, Berkshire Hathaway annual reports and SEC filings, annual meeting transcripts, subsidiary financials, and more. The analysis of each year is supplemented with Buffett's own commentary where relevant, and examines all important acquisitions, investments, and other capital allocation decisions. The appendices contain balance sheets, income statements, statements of cash flows, and key ratios dating back to the 1930s, materials brought together for the first time.

The structure of the book allows the new student to follow the logic, reasoning, and capital allocation decisions made by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger from the very beginning. Existing Berkshire shareholders and long-time observers will find new information and refreshing analysis, and a convenient reference guide to the decades of financial moves that built the modern-day respected enterprise that is Berkshire Hathaway.

'When your job is to stand in front of a very big man who wants to knock you unconscious, you learn what's important in life. In the ring there's nowhere to hide. I was never the biggest or the strongest but I made the most of what I had - I had heart and I had grit and I always put time into the mental game. Now it's time for you to come into the ring with me.'

Tony " Bomber " Bellew is one of the most unmissable boxers Britain has ever produced. Whether you loved him or hated him, you couldn't ignore him. His journey from chubby kid growing up in a rough part of Liverpool to world champion is a story of willpower, resilience and dedication. Now he's here to take you inside the ring and help you understand that whatever your goals, there's plenty you can learn there.

Over 12 rounds, Tony will show readers the world of boxing - the highs, the lows and the knockout blows. From what the boxing gym can teach us all about our strengths and weaknesses to how to hit the canvas and get back up again, this is the closest thing to having a world champion boxer in your corner.

Peter B

Peter has been on a forty-year mission to abstract and articulate the art of value creation. It started with his study of economics at Harvard, where he learned to appreciate market research and critical thinking, and to construct industry points of view from competitive analyses and trends. With that knowledge, Peter launched a career in management consulting, which piqued his interest in organizations that were struggling to differentiate or that had lost their competitive advantage. With an expertise in transformation and strategic planning, Peter joined the world of information and communications technology and software development, working on value propositions, brand positioning, and executive communications for networking giants Telcordia Technologies and Ericsson. While at Ericsson in Stockholm, Peter earned a seat on the Ericsson White Paper Editorial Board, where he learned to talk the talk with some of the world’s leading researchers and engineers, translating complex innovations into compelling use cases that executive leadership and strategists could leverage in vision statements and keynote addresses. After a few attempts as head of marketing with entrepreneurial startups, Peter launched a boutique consultancy, Taraxa Labs, along with a venerated technologist from his telecom days, Adan Pope. Adan and Peter had logged twenty years of innovation and digital transformation programs together, which served as the foundation of their first book, “Respect the Weeds: Digital Transformation Rooted in Principled Leadership, Vision and Innovation.” The consulting work that ensued allowed Peter to develop and test a novel leadership tool, Tension Mapping™, which became the foundation of a second collaboration, “Intentional Tension: A Lever of Value Creation and Growth.” Peter’s authentic and conversational writing style is inspired by Wynton Marsalis in “Moving to Higher Ground,” where the artist and composer distinguishes between musicians who play the notes on the page versus those who use their instrument to extract an emotion from their audience. Peter hopes that his storytelling will not just resonate with readers but will also move them to embrace change in their lives and in the lives of those upon which they may have influence.

Colleen has also served as an editor at Inc., Forbes, Entrepreneur, BusinessWeek and SmartMoney.

Peggy H

Armed with a degree in language studies and a longing to explore, Peggy moved from her home state of California to Japan to embark on her career in 2009. Though she originally emigrated overseas to teach English, life offered a different path when she landed a job in Osaka as a ghostwriter, editor, and proofreader of educational materials. There, she co-authored over 30 textbooks for use in classrooms at over 5,000 schools nationwide. In 2015, she moved to Thailand, where she began copywriting and blogging for brands in various industries, including luxury real estate, yoga & wellness, sex & relationships, travel, and entertainment. After moving home in 2018, Peggy began ghostwriting for a mainstream hybrid publishing firm. Since then, she has completed six non-fiction books with authors from around the globe, three of which went on to become Amazon bestsellers in multiple categories. Her genres of speciality include spirituality, self-help, business, psychology, memoir, women’s issues, and culture. She has also worked as a book coach, editor, and ghostwriter for authors of erotic fiction. When she’s not glued to her laptop, Peggy is an avid reader, meditator, kickboxer, visual artist, and yoga nerd. She also volunteers for Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional families, a 12-step organization supporting people in recovery from traumatic childhoods. With a deep passion for the connective power of language, she has studied Spanish, Italian, French, Japanese, and Thai. Helping people share their wisdom with the world brings her joy and she is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with StoryTerrace.
