40 CHANCES
BUFFETT, HOWARD
Legendary investor Warren Buffett posed this challenge to his son in 2006, when he announced he was
leaving the bulk of his fortune to philanthropy. Howard G. Buffett set out to help the most vulnerable
people on earth–nearly a billion individuals who lack basic food security. And Howard has given himself a
deadline: 40 years to put more than $3 billion to work on this challenge. All of us have about 40 chances
to make our mark in the world. This is a lesson Howard learned through his passion for farming. All
farmers can expect to have about 40 growing seasons, giving them just 40 chances to improve on every
harvest. This applies to all of us, however, because we all have about 40 productive years to make our
personal marks in the world, whatever our passions may be. 40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry
World is a new book that captures Howard’s journey. Beginning with his love for farming, we join him
around the world as he seeks out new approaches to ease the suffering of so many. It is told in a unique
format: 40 stories that will provide readers a compelling look at Howard’s lessons learned, ranging from
his own backyard to some of the most difficult and dangerous places on Earth.
