Compiled by the son of the cofounder of H&R Block, a collection of business quotes and advice from the most successful investor of the twentieth century, Warren Buffett.
Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is widely considered the most successful investor of the twentieth century. Since the early 1950s, Buffett has proved himself to be an astute investor, and he turned Berkshire Hathaway from a struggling small textile business into the fifth-largest public company in the world, valued at nearly $350 billion.
Buffett is well known for his simple but invaluable principles regarding investing and finances, and countless businessmen and people looking to be smarter with their money and their investments have turned to Buffett for his advice. One of those people is Robert Bloch, son of the cofounder of the tax preparation company H&R Block.
My Warren Buffett Bible contains nearly three hundred quotes that Bloch has personally found to be indispensable to financial success. With the written blessing of Buffett himself, Bloch has selected the best of Buffett, wisdom that will guide you to becoming the most disciplined and rational long-term investor you can be.

More Likely to Quote Star Wars than the Bible: Generation X and Our Frustrating Search for Rational Spirituality
From the introduction: “We are Generation X, born between the mid-sixties and early eighties, raised in the shadow of the Cold War in industrialized Western nations. Underneath our consumer-friendly façade loomed a near-constant fear of nuclear annihilation. Images of disintegrating people and houses that turned instantly to ashes haunted our dreams. We were the first latchkey-kid generation. Our parents believed in free love, and for many of us, that meant broken homes. We are known to be anti-authoritarian, anti-institutional, and notoriously antireligious—more likely to quote Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Monty Python, or Star Trek than the Bible. We are self-reliant, intellectual, discerning, and postmodern to a fault. Be this as it may, an increasing number of us find that something is missing . . . something vague . . . something—dare I say—spiritual. . .” In utter frustration, Generation X, more than any previous generation, has asked the question: “Isn’t there any way to be spiritual without denying rationality?” This book attempts to answer that question. As such, it is a must read for anyone from Generation X who has ever struggled with his or her spiritual identity. More than anything else, this book is an attempt to start an important cultural dialogue. You will want to discuss the ideas it has to offer, as they affect your life directly. The book begins with gusto, offering a sensible critique of current spiritual choices, everything from going to church to practicing twelve step spirituality to becoming spiritual-but-nonreligious, and then moves on to explore what it has meant for us to be the first postmodern generation. Finally, the book ends by demonstrating what a trans-rational approach to spirituality could look like. Written in unapologetic language by a self-described GenX poster child, and riddled with pop culture quotes, this book will spur you to think, and most certainly challenge your ideas about religion and spirituality. By the end, it will bring you closer to a personal approach that includes, but is not limited to, rationality.
The Rational Male
The Rational Male is a rational and pragmatic approach to intergender dynamics and the social and psychological underpinnings of intergender relations. The book is the compiled, ten-year core writing of author/blogger Rollo Tomassi from therationalmale.com. Rollo Tomassi is one of the leading voices in the globally growing, male-focused online consortium known as the “Manosphere”. Outlined are the concepts of positive masculinity, the feminine imperative, plate theory, operative social conventions and the core psychological theory behind Game awareness and “red pill” ideology. Tomassi explains and outlines the principles of intergender social dynamics and foundational reasoning behind them.
Low Calorie, Empowerment, Fitness, Light Therapy, Rational Thinking (12 Week High Energy Life Plan)
“The concept of energy and the flow of that energy in the human body is the core of the current explosion in healing. The healing principle is to “balance” the energy in the body by using relaxation to counter the body’s reaction to stress.” The Berkeley Holistic Health Center
The High Energy Life Plan integrates all the tools for living a healthy, balanced life. Many times busy people will see or read something that they would love to integrate into their lives. They also lack the time to plan and execute a total health plan.
The Life Plan includes food/diet choices, exercise choices, and emotional/mental techniques for stress reduction. All the pre-tests, measurements, references for each of the three categories (diet, exercise, and emotional/mental tools) are given.
Our goal is that each person using the High Energy Life Plan can create and continually change her/his health plan. Health takes effort to maintain. Each of us needs to know what we need to attain our highest level of health.
Your plan will include mental, physical and emotional exercises that you can use for the rest of your life because a total life make-over is needed to get and stay healthy.
1) Our program includes affirmations, assertiveness, being centered, breathing exercises, cognitive reframing, communication, creativity, exercise, empowerment, food program, goal setting, guided imagery, journaling, meditation, mindfulness, muscle relaxation, nutrition, relaxation, support program, time management, transactional analysis, and yoga.
2) Daily we are experiencing an overload of information. By using RSS feeds, we have become accustomed to “sound bites”. So the High Energy Diet contains many descriptive links so you may use the individual information that you choose. So instead of our publishing a book for you, we have published all the information links that you can choose to create your own, individual book to use for your High Energy Life.
3) While researching for this High Energy Life Library, we found hundreds of books which were each filled with good direction. The problem is that we have less and less time to devote to even our own improvement. So we knew that short, to-the-point weight management techniques would be a time-saver and motivator to even the busiest person. So we offer these books as a basis for lifelong health program.
4) In summary, you may choose: the food program you choose, the exercise that you love, the emotional techniques to help you learn how to relax into stress, and the mental disciplines needed to focus your energy on the things you can change.
