This autobiography seems like it was specifically written for the up and coming Young man. It will encourage and inspire. All the way from his child hood to late adult life, this biography covers what Mr.Carnegie believed to be the most important parts of his life, Particularly his child hood which began in poverty. In one of the most memorable portions, He recalls his first promotion as a lowly paper boy and how he kept his raise a secret with his brother. Words were never truer spoken when he said to his brother that their mother and father would never have to worry about money again. A great read and by far one of the best autobiographies available.

This book is for you, if you refuse to be anything less than the man you choose to be.

PROS- Great rags to riches story with extreme detail and emotion that anyone can relate to

CONS- Some of the ideas on business and how to manage a company may be outdated and not very useful to follow in modern times.

Final Thoughts- I enjoyed this book profoundly, read it several times over, and have yet to find an autobiography that is so compelling and strong. regardless of what you think about Mr.Carnegie, when you hear his words, you know they are sincere and written in a very relatable fashion
