Publisher's summary

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 audiobook 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 audiobook 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 200 years ago. It is an audiobook about what it takes to be a man who can change his fortunes and the world around him.

Learn more about this business magnate and how he changed the course of history for the better.

Great man

I listened to this while commuting to work. It was great to hear the words penned by an amazing man who used self learning, knowledge and stern management to see the need to create products needed for a growing country.

Amazing character!

Excellent! What a history lesson. J. R. MacGregor is amazing pulling this information together. I would have enjoyed hanging out with Carnegie, not one of his factory workers.. One of a kind.

Worth a listen

I enjoyed listening the biographiesof Andrew Carnegie very much, and learned about his life work and his generosity. But i could be better.What is striking is his principled and ethical approach to his business, and life, was not a obstacle to his success.

Very informative

A reminder of the oligarchs who built this country. Carnegie at least tried to make amends for the way he came to power and wealth.

What an excellent listen

What an excellent listen . Just fascinating to see how Carnegie's mind works. Imagine sitting across from him and hearing his life in such ancedotal terms, with humor and passion for the steal industry and business enterprise. Different times, for sure, but the human spirit and elements of character endure. I loved this book.

Revealing

Brings to light the contradictions, internal confictedness and passions of the man, He is not easily understood or appreciated and this "biography" sheds light on why.

A very interesting story

A very interesting story, this man started out making pennies a day and worked himself to become a millionair, it is also a business book you cannot afford to include in your business studies. This is one of the men who made America what it is today. I could only wish we had more of these shakers and movers in the world today.
