This book features the life stories, told by themselves, of many successful men and women, with emphasis on those experiences which to them appear to have been the turning points in their lives. The leaders in invention, manufacture, transportation, commerce, finance, in political and public life, and in the professions of the ministry, the law, literature and art, were requested to bequeath in their own words the stories of their lives, their ideals, and the lessons of their experience, to the American public. Many and varied careers have been selected, so that each one may find his ideal of success fulfilled in real life, and be aroused to a lofty aspiration and resolute determination to achieve like eminence.

Аннотация
В автобиографической книге «История моей жизни» американского предпринимателя, сталепромышленника, мультимиллионера и филантропа – Эндрю Карнеги, вас ждет рассказ о воплощении в жизнь «американской мечты». Мальчишкой, будущий миллионер, зарабатывал жалких полтора доллара в неделю, но его трудолюбие и целеустремленность, спустя некоторое время, сделали его одним из богатейших людей планеты. Однако, как оказалось, сколотить капитал – далеко не самое сложное. Намного труднее – правильно распорядиться им в дальнейшем. И Карнеги, так же, как и его знаменитые соотечественники-миллиардеры: Джон Рокфеллер и Генри Форд принял решение большую часть своего состояния потратить на благотворительность. Он посвятил свою жизнь тому, чтобы капитал служил общественным интересам, а также развитию образования. Он был ярым сторонником движения за реформы правописания в качестве средства содействия распространению английского языка. Среди его многочисленных благотворительных усилий особо заметно создание публичных библиотек в Соединённых Штатах и в Великобритании, а также строительство Карнеги-холл в Нью-Йорке, учреждение Корпорации Карнеги и Фонда Карнеги за Международный мир, открытие Института Карнеги в Вашингтоне и Университета Карнеги-Меллона в Питтсбурге. Также не пропустите ранее вышедшие аудиокниги серии «Путь к успеху»: Джон Рокфеллер «Как я нажил 500 000 000 долларов. Мемуары миллиардера», Генри Форд «Сегодня и завтра. Кодекс миллиардера», Генри Форд «Моя жизнь. Мои достижения». ©&℗ ИП Воробьев В.А. ©&℗ ИД СОЮЗ
