Rockefeller's Life Changing Lessons: John D Rockefeller on Money, Success & Life is a very neat book.Author William Wyatt presents essentials only. There was a lot I did not know. In fact, reading the presented information I was wondering why I had never bothered to figure out how Rockefeller got as successful as he became.In these times of relatively quick dot.com successes it is important to remember that the eternal business principles still work and will help to become more successful. William Wyatt sections his short book into the chapters:Chapter 1 - Follow the Traces Left In HistoryChapter 2 - Applying Your Skills to Succeed In LifeChapter 3 - A Methodical Approach for SuccessChapter 4 - Lessons from the Stock MarketChapter 5 - Success as a Passion for Helping HumanityChapter 6 - In His Own Words: Rockefeller Best Quotes on Success, Business & LifeI had no idea that Rockefeller used to be an accountant, that he followed an almost ritualistic schedule of daily activities, that he liked numbers puzzles, and that he founded the University of Chicago; but I did assume that he played golf. The book contains impressive little details like that Rockefeller received an average of 2000 letters (via snail mail) every day. I could not help but wondering about how the the postal service delivered. Even though the book is short, readers will be amazed by the vast amount on information author William Wyatt has packed into it.Rockefeller's Life Changing Lessons presents smart lessons and is a pleasant read.
