“Are you ready to get your brain pumping?
Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you won't find anywhere else!”
A fiery success
Secret Interviews with 31 of Today's Greatest Successful Leaders
This book is not a book that contains overly famous quotes and stories from people whose names everyone knows, nor is it a book that contains overly obvious and clichéd content.
This book contains never-before-seen, detailed and creative experiences of people who changed everything in our time.
The remarkable confessions of great successful leaders who created values that did not exist in the world, the sweat and breath of their brows, and the decisive moments that helped them overcome countless failures and frustrations, are richly revealed to an exceptional interviewee.
The author of this book, Rubenstein, who grew up in a slum, founded a global private equity fund management company, and gained international fame as the president of the World Economic Forum and the Washington Economic Club, has invited global CEOs, entrepreneurs, innovators, and top figures in politics, economics, and society to private conversations over the past five years, sharing with readers various insights into their untold lives and successes.
As the hidden thoughts of the titans who changed the rules of human history and success are revealed, readers are filled with burning passion and purpose.
How did Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates overcome adversity to build global IT empires? How did Phil Knight build an impregnable sporting goods company based on ideas gleaned from his business school thesis? How did Tim Cook build a company even more powerful than Steve Jobs? How did Eric Schmidt build the Google empire with young entrepreneurs? How did PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi win the battle against Coca-Cola? How did Jamie Dimon turn JP Morgan into the world's leading investment bank?
Rubenstein offers 13 answers to all these questions.
Luck, a desire for success, a pursuit of originality, long-term effort, focus, resilience, perseverance, persuasiveness, humility, sharing credit, continuous learning, integrity, and crisis management.
This book, which immediately topped the bestseller charts of Amazon, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, urges readers living in an era of rapid change not to miss this opportunity.
The great titans of this book say:
“We must never fear the moment when the waves of great change and transformation surge forward.
Don't hesitate and worry and miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Face the waves head on and see where they are coming from.
“The biggest wave will send you the furthest in life.”
The fastest way to achieve your dreams is to learn from the success of those who have the same dream as you.
This book offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on the shoulders of giants who have created the greatest things in work and life.
In this era of great axial shift, I hope you find the wave that will propel your life to its highest and farthest heights by standing on the shoulders of giants.
New passion, exciting life, amazing leaps
Wisdom and insight from the world's best for you
How can I live a successful life? How can I reach the top in my field? The key is simple.
It is about becoming a ‘leader’ who stands at the forefront of everything.
You must not follow.
Must follow.
The most striking thing that the Titans in this book have in common is that they were all 'lucky.'
It should be noted that it is not 'I was lucky' but 'I was lucky'.
Luck doesn't come by itself.
Only when you actively seek it out until the soles of your feet swell will luck follow you.
Successful leaders always have something to follow.
People follow, fame follows, money follows, and a sense of accomplishment follows.
And finally, luck follows.
Therefore, anyone who dreams of success must become a leader.
Leadership is not a choice in life, it is a necessity.
Titans are the owners of incredible experiences that have moved the world in a new direction by creating value in a direction that everyone else opposed and hesitated to take.
In this book, the Titans share their experiences with cool and honest voices.
They say.
“While living the life of a follower, you will always feel lost and shaken.
Because there is no set direction in this world.
Only you can create speed, set direction, and decide where to go.
“The moment you become your own leader, an incredible leap forward occurs in your life.”
There is no need to build a huge following.
The only thing that matters is 'being the leader of my life'.
That's all.
The wisest way to read this book is to read between the lines.
It is about vividly feeling the hot breath and sweat of the Titans between the lines and between the sentences.
Along with all the wisdom and enlightenment explained, experience their intense passion that is beyond description.
The goals, direction, and speed in life that you have been searching for will slowly follow you.
David Rubenstein wants readers to delve into the nuances of these individuals who have achieved blazing success.

It provides incomparable insight from people who are incomparable to anyone else.
