What makes for a successful investor? More important, what makes for a happy and meaningful life? According to legendary investor Jim Rogers, the road to financial success and the road to a meaningful life are one and the same. In A Gift to My Children, Rogers lays out his advice to young people on how to achieve the financial success they need to live their dreams. A Gift to My Children is anchored by the two basic rules Rogers invests—and lives—by. The first is that you have to see the world up close if you're going to understand how it works, and the second is that you must always question conventional wisdom. Using a mix of stories from his childhood in Alabama, as well as his experiences at Yale, Oxford, in the army, in his world travels, and over the course of his investing career, Rogers explains how he has applied these principles in his own life and why they have made him so wildly successful. An accessible, entertaining, story-driven guide to a happy and successful life, A Gift to My Children will introduce Jim Rogers to a new generation.… (mais)

I am not sure how useful it is in terms of advice to anybody else' daughters but there are tidbits of wisdom here regarding investment. Nothing groundbreaking or new but still interesting nonetheless coming from a such unique person as Jim Rogers. Very short and unusual book. ( )

I really liked the book, because of the experience the author made through his life and how he reflects that in writing. He visited around 112 countries with his wife and traveled through 12-15 war zones...

He also mentions that skill is sometimes less important than will.

"Say what you want, but this kid never stops. He has the right attitude and I want him working for me."

If you are motivated in life and do what you like you will succeed.

On a side note: Chinas saving rate is around 1/3, USA is now only saving 2%, that's a worry :-)

Quick, easy and enjoyable read! ( )
