    Tap Dancing to Work (2012) looks at the long life of investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and one of America’s richest men. Carol Loomis, who led coverage of Buffett for decades at Fortune magazine, collected more than 40 articles along with excerpts from Buffett’s annual letters to shareholders to showcase his ideas on just about everything. Some articles are lighthearted, such as one that explores whether Warren and singer Jimmy Buffett are related (maybe). For the most part, though, the articles highlight his investment strategies, his long-time friendship with Microsoft’s Bill Gates, and his profound impact on the US economy, the stock market, and CEOs worldwide.

    Born in a small German town at the dawn of World War II, Peter Paulsen was raised by a resourceful, resilient single mother, and immigrated with his family to the United States at age eighteen. With a strong work ethic and a belief in the power of positive thinking, Peter went from journeyman bricklayer to starting his own masonry company at age twenty-one. Before Peter turned thirty, he was developing high-quality, single-family homes and apartment complexes that he designed himself. From there, he went on to additional residential and commercial development, including multi-building office parks, innovatively designed apartment complexes, and even a luxury waterfront hotel. Peter has owned a bank and two shopping centers, and has become a highly successful, self-taught stock investor. At every turn, Peter used his abilities and passion for reading, learning, and continually reimagining his goals to build one success on top of another. 
    Spanning nine decades, From Brick and Mortar to Prosperity: How I Created Wealth tells Peter’s story, from his boyhood in Germany to his active and satisfying life today, investing in stocks and using his foundation, the Peter Paulsen Foundation, to give back to his community and others. Throughout the book, Peter uses thought-provoking questions to inspire readers to discover – and fulfill – their own dreams. Told in an engaging, motivating style, Peter’s story is a modern-day narration of the American Dream.
