Only interesting if you want to know his history, which has partly been made up according to the writer. Hardly anything about his investment strategy so this book is not for those aiming to improve their investment skills.

Not the most interesting person to read a biography about, but the investment philosophy chapters are worth the price of the book for any investor. T Rowe Price was a pioneer of growth investing and the ideas are logical and still very usable as a framework.

Well researched, interesting story and interesting man. Seems like he had an incredible amount of dedication and willpower; someone that dedicated his life to his work.

Lot of detailed history on the man and the economy back in the day. Not as much about the investment process and philosophy as expected. Too many hypotheticals of “What T Rowe would’ve done or said”

看的港版，基本上是通勤时地铁上看完的，看来这段时间可以好好利用一下。

A strong history of the company and general economic context in which it operated. A disappointing lack of insights from T Rowe Price Jr. about investing that can be applied to modern investing.
