William Green has written about so many investors. You see both the commonalities and differences in the investing approaches of the many people. There's peopele you know by name and some by their funds. Its a great way of knowing the over all investor and not just their investing policy. Its the complete personality. Much emphasis has been laid on how to boil the experiences of those investors, so we can use those principles. Mohnish Pabrai, William Danoff, Templeton, Howard Marks, Joel Greenblatte.. phew.. see I can know rattle off their names.. have their picture in mind.. have gone through more interviews of theirs. Their essence captured in the book seems close. What an accesible treasure trove of knowledge. You realise that each investor has lot of patience and stick to their mantras. Some even have tenets like oaktree of not timing the market. Amazing book. Can see that it will become an investing classic.

Disclaimer: I was given this book without charge in return for my unbiased opinion.

I have been educating myself about investing for few years now and I have read few good books on investing but I haven't come across a book that addresses the underlying personal and professional traits of greatest investors of our times. This book does exactly that. It's interesting in that it's not a biography nor it is straight up about investing. It's more about how the big names in investing do their investing and what principles whether person or professional guides them that we can learn to help us become a better investor. For example Monish Pabrai, he openly confesses to copying Warren Buffet's style and owes his success to him. Sir Templeton, another big name had courage to stand apart from the crowd and be sort of a contrarian investor which served him well. The book is organized in chapters dedicated to legendary investor. Chapters are short and flows nicely. The content is easy to read and digest.
I haven't read the whole book yet but judging from the first couple chapters I can guarantee it's going to be a valuable book to anyone who is looking for some insight into greatest minds in the field. I can't wait to finish it off.
