Beschreibung

In "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son," George Horace Lorimer presents an epistolary narrative that deftly combines humor, wisdom, and practical advice. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book chronicles imaginary correspondence between a wealthy merchant, Mr. Grover, and his son, who navigates the complexities of life and business. Lorimer's writing is characterized by its conversational tone, rich in satirical observation, which critiques societal norms while offering timeless insights into character and ambition. This work resonates deeply within the American literary context, reflecting the burgeoning capitalism and middle-class values of its time. George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937) was an influential editor and a keen observer of American life. His background in journalism and his experiences in the business world informed his understanding of both personal and professional dynamics. Lorimer's own ascent from humble beginnings to a position of influence as the editor of The Saturday Evening Post significantly influenced his portrayal of self-made success, making this book a semi-autobiographical endeavor that underscores his belief in meritocracy. I highly recommend "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son" to readers seeking a blend of insight and entertainment. Its timeless advice, presented in a relatable format, makes it not only a valuable resource for aspiring entrepreneurs but also a delightful exploration of father-son relationships, making it a significant addition to both personal and academic libraries.

    Scott Drew, head basketball coach of the NCAA National Championship-winning Baylor Bears, rebuilt a program mired in scandal by instilling a culture of putting Jesus first. The Road to J.O.Y. is packed with leadership and coaching lessons that can equip any leader to make their team a championship team. 
    When Drew accepted the head coaching position at Baylor in 2003, the job was arguably the worst in all of college sports.

It was an unprecedented story and a national embarrassment. Still, Coach Drew had a confident vision of what the program could be, even in the face of such adversity, and he guided his team to the pinnacle of success—Baylor’s first National Championship—while leading with, and living out, his faith. 
    The Road to J.O.Y. shares:Biblical principles that have helped Coach Scott Drew lead well through challenging timesAn insider’s look at the others-first culture that spurred Baylor’s reboundCoach’s wisdom for investing in others and creating a successful organizationThe leadership lessons Drew has learned from growing up in a famous basketball family and years of coachingHow faith is the foundation for everything Drew does 
    With equal parts inspirational memoir and personal and professional growth, The Road to J.O.Y. is perfect for anyone who is looking to better live out their faith, lead a team, achieve a goal, or mentor others.
