The Uncharted Path: The Autobiography of Lee Myung-Bak
Lee's story of his rise is one of absolute commitment to sacrifice and hard work-not uncommon attributes of his generation.Seen from the perspective of our own entitlement culture, Lee Myung-bak's attitude seems almost inhuman: Whether hauling garbage at the break of dawn, or barking orders from the corner office at Hyundai, he repeatedly pushed himself to the point of collapse and even hospitalization. Yet Lee sees nothing particularly special about his sacrifices: Among South Koreans of his generation, there were millions of Lee Myung-baks, men and women who put aside horrible war memories to build a better life for their children.
