Very good, very strong book on greatness. No fluff here!

If you're tired of the feel-good fluff out there, give this book a try. While it motivated the hell out of me, some ...

Outstanding
This excellent book fills a need for biographies of entrepreneurs who have shaped the modern world. The chapters pack a lot of useful information with a clear focus on what is important. They cover childhood and education as well as adult business life. The personality theories used help to relate the stories to the professional literature, but do not detract from the richness of the ...
