About the book

Blackstone co-founder Stephen A. Schwarzman, who started the investment firm with $400,000, draws lessons from his career on how to build, transform and lead organizations. They range across philanthropy, diplomacy, investing, deal-making, entrepreneurship and leadership. It became a New York Times best seller.

Ray Dalio suggested it as a way to tap into Schwarzman's thinking, pairing it with a second book he named in the same post.

Two such people - @Benioff and Stephen Schwarzman - have luckily for you put out two books that let you tap into their thinking, so I suggest that you check out Marc’s book, Trailblazer, at http://www.trailblazer.com, and Stephen’s book, What It Takes, at http://www.readwhatittakes.com.
