Andrew Carnegie’s brain was a mix of brilliant strategy, expert sales, and ruthless vacationing. Andrew Carnegie worked a few hours a day—but got more done in that time than most men do in a week. He always had a sharp ax, a strong arm, and knew the right places to strike—with minimal effort he did maximum damage.
You also see that Carnegie was a self-conscious little man who stops at nothing to be seen in a good light—he’ll lie, embellish, and make up preposterous stories. You can be among the richest men in the world and still have a small character.
This book is a good four inches thick, but worth it.
Rework
This is a thoroughly engaging read that will have you rethinking your daily workflow, and the way you interact with people. I can’t think of a single company I’d rather have rip-off our branding Ours vs. Theirs
