THROWBACK

EDITION
Just as vintage fashion can be more
beautifully built that today’s current
trends, some classic business books
can be packed with even more wisdom
than some of today’s current editions.
Here are a couple of books that have
been popular for a combined 150
years. If you haven’t read them yet,
check them out. If you’ve read them
before, it may be time to take a second
look.
Both a business book and a self-help
book of sorts, this classic tome is from
author Napoleon Hill. Published in
1937 at the urging of Andrew
Carnegie (no big deal, right?), this
book aims to teach people how to be
better, more effective humans. Hill
passed away in 1970, but the book has
only increased in popularity since that
time, to the tune of over 70 million
copies sold.
Published the year before ink and
Grow Rich, in 1936 (the depression
was a good time for rethinking
things), this book is also a
combination of business guide and self
improvement tool. Stemming from a
business improvement course that
Carnegie used to teach, one of the
biggest fans of the book (and
graduates of the course) is none other
than Warren Buffet.

“Remember that a
person's name is,
to that person, the
sweetest and most
important sound
in any language.”
