Former Wall Street investment banker and philanthropist Guy Spier reveals how meeting Warren Buffett changed his career--and his life--in The Education of a Value Investor: My Transformative Quest for Wealth, Wisdom, and Enlightenment.

A Harvard MBA graduate and a successful hedge fund manager, Guy Spier pursued an opportunity to meet one of America's wealthiest businessmen--bidding $650,100 with Mohnish Pabrai for the privilege to do so--at a charity lunch. What Warren Buffett shared was more important than market share strategies. He learned principles that put him on the path to becoming a real value investor.

In this fascinating inside story, Spier reveals his transformation from a Gordon Gekko wannabe, driven by greed, to a sophisticated investor who enjoys success without selling his soul to the highest bidder. His journey is similar to the thousands that flock to New York's Financial District every year with their shiny new diplomas, aiming to be King of Wall Street, realizing just in the nick of time that the true King lived 1,500 miles away in Omaha, Nebraska.

Inspired by Warren's activist values, Spier altered his career trajectory, learning some powerful lessons along the way including: why the right mentors and partners are critical to long term success on Wall Street; why a topnotch education can sometimes get in the way of your success; that real learning doesn't begin until you are on your own; and how the best lessons from Warren Buffett have less to do with investing and more to do with being true to yourself. Spier also reveals some of his own winning investment strategies, detailing deals that were winners but also what he learned from deals that went south.

Part memoir, part financial investing advisory, and part how-to guide, Guy Spier takes readers on a ride through Wall Street but more importantly provides those that want to take a different path with the insight, guidance, and inspiration they need to carve out their own definition of success.

Good Treats, But Too Small for Large Dogs
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 9.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I purchased these DreamBone Twist Sticks for my large dogs. They had no problem eating them, but the treats were much smaller than I expected for bigger breeds. Because of the size, they didn't last very long and weren't as exciting for them as some of the other chews I've purchased. That said, the dogs did eat them, and the quality seemed good. My dogs can be pretty picky, so their lack of enthusiasm may have had more to do with their preferences than the product itself. I think these would be a great option for small or medium-sized dogs, or as a quick treat rather than a long-lasting chew. Overall, a decent product, just not the best fit for my large dogs.

Great for older and small dogs
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 9.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Healthy snack for the pups! I have an Oder dog and small dog both are able to enjoy these treats! They are hard enough to get some chews but soft enough to chew completely before swelling!

My little dog loves these. They are easy for him to eat and he begs for them every day. They are safe to consume and he enjoys them as a special treat. Every day is special to him!

Pup Approved!
Style: Large - Red, Style: Large - Red
This winter my boy kept eating the ice outside which I didn’t like because I was not sure what chemicals could possibly be in the ice from the water seeping into my yard from the street. I decided to search Amazon for molds to make my own treats for my pup but then came across the GoSports Pets PupsCream Frozen Dog Treat Holder. Both my pup and I absolutely love it! My pup is approximately 30lbs and this bone treat holder is the perfect size for him. It’s heavy enough where it doesn’t move while my pup licks it as you can see from the pictures I provided. The bone treat holder did start on the floor but my pup took it upon himself to move it to his side of the couch, so the bone isn’t too heavy for your pup not to be able to carry it. I allowed my pup to keep his treat on the couch because as you can also see from the photos, it is not messy! I am completely shocked and surprised by the cleanliness of when a pup is eating the frozen treat unless this differs between each pup. Overall, the quality of the bone treat holder is very well made even when your pup puts it in his mouth to move its location. The bone treat holder usually keeps my pups attention for roughly thirty or more minutes. Once my pup is done with his treat, the cleanup is very easy as well and the bone treat holder air dries quickly or can be dried with a towel. I highly recommend the GoSports Pets PupsCream Frozen Dog Treat Holder to anyone that is looking for the perfect frozen treat holder toy for your furry best friend!
