But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLife Is What\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eYou Make It, \u003c\/i\u003eBuffett expounds on the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother, his industrious and talented father, and the many life teachers he has met along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eToday's society, Buffett posits, has begun to replace a work ethic, relishing what you do, with a wealth ethic, honoring the payoff instead of the process. We confuse privilege with material accumulation, character with external validation. Yet, by focusing more on substance and less on reward, we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment. In clear and concise terms, Buffett reveals a great truth: Life is random, neither fair nor unfair. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom there it becomes easy to recognize the equal dignity and value of every human life--our circumstances may vary but our essences do not. We see that our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts, crises, and blunders. How we push through and persevere in these challenging moments is where we begin to create the life of our dreams--from discovering our vocations to living out our bliss to giving back to others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePersonal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, \u003ci\u003eLife Is What You Make It \u003c\/i\u003eis about transcending your circumstances, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living your life to the fullest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePETER BUFFETT is an Emmy Award-winning composer and producer and cochairman of the NoVo Foundation.
