Itâ€™s Never Too Late to Top Your Personal Best.

Both a riveting account of a life spent pulling off improbable triumphs and a report back from the front of the global-energy and natural-resource wars, The First Billion Is the Hardest tells the story of the remarkable late-life comeback that brought the famed oilman and maverick back from bankruptcy and clinical depression. Along the way, the man often called the â€œOracle of Oilâ€ shares the insights that have made him a legendâ€“and describes the billion-dollar bets he is now making in hopes of securing Americaâ€™s energy independence.

â€œSassy...breezes along...salted with earthy aphorisms.â€â€”Bloomberg.com

â€œBooneâ€™s analysis of Americaâ€™s energy situation is 100 percent on the money....The country should listen to himâ€“now!â€ â€”Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway

â€œSelf-deprecating and audacious...overall, itâ€™s decidedly informative about the machinations of business.â€ â€“Dallas Morning News

â€œA fascinating, eye-opening book by one of Americaâ€™s greatest iconoclasts and entrepreneurs. Boone Pickensâ€™ sense of daring and innovation has never been sharper.â€â€“Steve Forbes, president and CEO, Forbes Inc., and editor in chief of Forbes magazine
