Synopsis

In "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son," George Horace Lorimer presents an epistolary narrative that deftly combines humor, wisdom, and practical advice. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book chronicles imaginary correspondence between a wealthy merchant, Mr. Grover, and his son, who navigates the complexities of life and business. Lorimer's writing is characterized by its conversational tone, rich in satirical observation, which critiques societal norms while offering timeless insights into character and ambition. This work resonates deeply within the American literary context, reflecting the burgeoning capitalism and middle-class values of its time. George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937) was an influential editor and a keen observer of American life. His background in journalism and his experiences in the business world informed his understanding of both personal and professional dynamics. Lorimer's own ascent from humble beginnings to a position of influence as the editor of The Saturday Evening Post significantly influenced his portrayal of self-made success, making this book a semi-autobiographical endeavor that underscores his belief in meritocracy. I highly recommend "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son" to readers seeking a blend of insight and entertainment. Its timeless advice, presented in a relatable format, makes it not only a valuable resource for aspiring entrepreneurs but also a delightful exploration of father-son relationships, making it a significant addition to both personal and academic libraries.

    “Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself; do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.” —Bruce Lee  Bruce Lee was a brand well before that became commonplace. Step into the Dragon’s mind and explore how he thought about business, goals, and life.  The Bruce Lee Code focuses on the business strategies prevalent in Lee’s life and teachings that helped unlock his full potential. Bruce Lee’s attention to brand is a major reason why he continues to influence pop culture today. He was a pioneer, being one of the first Hollywood stars to start his own production company.   To recharge America’s creative and entrepreneurial swagger, we need to reexamine Lee’s life and teachings. Although he died in 1973 at age thirty-two, Lee remains a global icon who continues to influence the contemporary world in ways both obvious and subtle.   Lee was primarily known for his otherworldly martial arts skills and blockbuster movies such as Enter the Dragon and Fist of Fury. But he was also a man of incredible vision, willpower, and intellectual curiosity whose brief career inspired highly successful projects in Hollywood, sports, comic books, video games, and fashion.   In many ways, Lee resembled Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. Both men possessed remarkable self-assurance and a desire to disrupt the status quo. Jobs did not invent the computer, tablet, or MP3 player. Instead, Jobs’s genius was taking existing products and ideas and turning them into something better. Lee also did not hesitate to liberally borrow and emulate. He fused Eastern and Western ideas and techniques to make unique films that would appeal to worldwide audiences. He created his own unique style of martial arts and philosophies that drew upon a deep reservoir of historical and contemporary influences.   This book draws upon Bruce Lee’s extensive writings, including letters, journals, and business documents, as well as interviews with those who knew him personally.

    The world of big business is changing, and a new management ethic is emerging.  Autry believes business is about values and relationships, not just the bottom line, and that's why downsizing, lay-offs and cutting benefits are not producing the results corporations hoped for.

    You're trying to help—but is it working? 
     
     
     
    Helping others is a good thing. Often, as a leader, manager, doctor, teacher, or coach, it's central to your job. But even the most well-intentioned efforts to help others can be undermined by a simple truth: We almost always focus on trying to "fix" people, correcting problems or filling the gaps between where they are and where we think they should be. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well, if at all, to inspire sustained learning or positive change. 
     
     
     
    There's a better way. In this powerful, practical book, emotional intelligence expert Richard Boyatzis and Weatherhead School of Management colleagues Melvin Smith and Ellen Van Oosten present a clear and hopeful message. The way to help someone learn and change, they say, cannot be focused primarily on fixing problems, but instead must connect to that person's positive vision of themselves or an inspiring dream or goal they've long held. This is what great coaches do—they know that people draw energy from their visions and dreams, and that same energy sustains their efforts to change, even through difficult times. In contrast, problem-centered approaches trigger physiological responses that make a person defensive and less open to new ideas.
