Dale Carnegie’s wisdom has served as the stepping stone to greatness for several of the most successful people in the world. In the HBO documentary Becoming Warren Buffett, the Berkshire Hattaway Chairman praises the Carnegie courses saying “If I wouldn’t have done that, my whole life would have been different” [2].
It's fairly well known that Warren Buffet still lives in the house he bought in the fifties before he got ultra wealthy, but I was watching a documentary a couple of weeks back where he was explaining that his choice of breakfast at the McDonald's drive-thru window is dictated by the market closing price the day before. That's hardcore... and a little eccentric probably.

>The transparency and humble tone is pretty unique.
Humble is an understatement. The man is a piece of work, that's for sure.
The HBO biographical documentary is insightful:

Interesting, the documentary claims that after Susie moved to SF she suggested Astrid take care of Warren. Essentially had two wives.
“Susie and I and Astrid had an arrangement that worked maybe one time in a thousand,” Mr. Buffett said. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/29/arts/television/becoming-warren-buffett-goes-beyond-a-74-billion-fortune.html
