The Essays of Warren Buffett

Lessons for Corporate America

Buffett's shareholder wisdom, organized into a coherent philosophy.

by Warren E. Buffett, selected and arranged by Lawrence A. Cunningham

Lawrence Cunningham curates and thematically arranges Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letters into a structured book on investing and business. It covers governance, finance, accounting, mergers, and valuation in Buffett's plainspoken voice. The result reads as a coherent manifesto rather than a year-by-year archive.

Founders get a master class in capital allocation, governance, and long-term thinking straight from one of the clearest business minds alive. Buffett's emphasis on owning durable businesses and treating shareholders as partners is directly applicable to how founders run and report on their own companies.
