Andrew Carnegie - Insight and Analysis into the Life of a True Entrepreneur, Industrialist, and Philanthropist

2019

Synopsis

Andrew Carnegie amassed wealth that inspired generations of entrepreneurs and industrialists. Starting with nothing in Scotland, he gradually built so much wealth that those at the top of the current Forbes list would still not be able to match him.

This book presents the life of one of the gentlest and kindest men in history and the way he made his money. His fortune was ultimately almost three times more than the richest men on the planet today.

The purpose of this book is to go beyond the facts of his life and present the events and consequences of his actions along with the philosophies that ruled his heart and mind.

Carnegie was not merely a businessman. He understood the meaning of life and how men thought, which gave him an advantage.

He began working at a young age, and the lessons he learned from observing his surroundings gave him the foundational structure that allowed him to build his wealth and etch his name in the minds of generations to come.

This is not just a history book about a man who did something almost two hundred years ago. It is a book about what it takes to be a man who can change his fortunes and the world around him.
