These are the books that I’ve recently read—these are the kind of books that aren’t posted here at the Resurgence.

Carnegie by David Nasaw

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.
