Warren Buffett's Recommended Reading Now Available on Spotify for Free
For many investors and admirers, Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, is not only a symbol of financial acumen but also a beacon of knowledge. His ethos on the power of reading is renowned; he suggests that absorbing 500 pages a day is the cornerstone of success—a habit that 'builds up, like compound interest'. Despite this sage advice, the reality of dedicating 'five or six hours' daily to such intellectual pursuits remains a challenge for most. Recognizing this, Spotify Technology SA SPOT has unveiled a compelling offering that aligns perfectly with Buffett's philosophy.
