Synopsis

The classic of muckraking journalism that exposed the inner workings of a Gilded Age business empire—with a new introduction by Elizabeth Catte. Cleveland oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller formed the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870. Over the next four decades, he turned the business into a behemoth, systematically driving his competitors out of business or buying them outright. His vast fortune made him one of the nation’s most powerful men.  But his private empire was nearly undone by the tireless journalism of a single, determined woman, Ida Tarbell. Originally published in 1904, The History of the Standard Oil Company exposed Rockefeller’s monopolistic tactics, eventually resulting in the company’s dismantling in 1911. More than simply a monumental piece of reporting; it is a deft, engrossing portrait of business in America—both its virtues and excesses.

    Start with Who, with a foreword by EOS Visionaries Mike Paton and Mark O'Donnell, is the next generation beyond business books written decades ago, including Simon Sinek's Start with Why and The Challenger Sale by Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson. The groundbreaking science, examples, and concepts in this book are delivered in easy-to-understand terms and designed to help drive meteoric success for sales, marketing, and recruiting professionals who have started or work for small to medium businesses. 
     
     
     
    Over 90 percent of customers buy on trust, but only 3 percent of salespersons are trusted. Start with Who takes science-based storytelling for sales, marketing, and talent acquisition to a new level by showing you how to blend Aristotle's Persuasion Model, business neuromarketing, the educational 4MAT system, and a new approach to the Three-Act Play to build customer and candidate trust with only twelve bullet points and a story. All salespersons know that "facts tell and stories sell." Having trained and coached thousands of sales and marketing professionals for leading firms, New York Times bestselling author W. Craig Reed leverages decades of experience to help individuals hone their messaging down to a few short bullet points presented in a compelling yet easy-to-understand story format designed to teach, persuade, and drive action.

    You’ve followed the rules, hit your financial goals, and done everything “right”—so why does success still feel unfulfilling? 
    Luis Miletti Jr., CIMA®, CRPC®, has guided clients across all walks of life through the emotional complexity of wealth—and uncovered a common truth: financial success doesn’t always equal fulfillment. 
    In The Why Behind the Wealth, he introduces the North Star Method, a research-backed framework grounded in behavioral finance that helps you stop chasing arbitrary benchmarks and start aligning your money with what truly matters. Blending hard-won advisory insight with human-centered strategy, Miletti walks you through clarity, protection, and provision—the three pillars of a purpose-driven plan. Whether you’re approaching retirement, facing a life transition, or simply wondering why “winning” still feels like waiting, this book gives you the tools to turn financial noise into lasting peace. 
    It’s not about having more—it’s about alignment and purpose. 
    I’m Luis Miletti Jr., Founder of Miletti Wealth Management and a Wealth Manager with almost two decades of experience in the financial industry. For the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with individuals, families and small businesses to help them prepare for retirement, enjoy it with confidence, and create a legacy that lasts for generations. 
    My approach is deeply personal. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice—because no two people share the same story, values, or goals. That’s why I take the time to understand your “why,” and build a plan around what truly matters to you.

    Over the years, thousands of books, articles, studies and theories  have been developed on the topic of leadership. People are  fascinated by the subject and with how they can become better  leaders or rise to leadership-level positions. And yet, despite all  this work, a consensus has not emerged with respect to what  leadership is, how leaders develop, and  perhaps most  importantly  how to become a more effective leader. The  appetite for books that provide answers to these questions is  almost insatiable.   COMMON PURPOSE will answer these questions. But it will be  different from all those leadership books already on the shelf  because it will show that common purpose, is the heart and  soul of great leadership. Common purpose is a new concept.  What is common purpose? It is that rare, almost-palpable  experience that happens when a leader coalesces a group, team or  community into a creative, dynamic, brave and nearly invincible  we.  It happens the moment the  organizations values, tools, objectives and hopes are  internalized in a way that enables people to work tirelessly toward  a goal. Years ago, there was a book about the inner game of tennis  which changed the way people think about and play sports. Common  purpose is the inner game of leadership. Common purpose is rarely  achieved. But Kurtzman has observed that when a leader is able to  bring it about, the results are outsized, measurable and  inspiring.  COMMON PURPOSE is a book about leaders, leadership and how to  lead. It is based on Kurtzmans recent interviews with more  than 50 leaders. It is also based on research on leadership he has  conducted over the years beginning at The New York Times,  the Harvard Business Review, Booz & Company, during his  career as a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, his own consulting  firm and for groups like Mercer HR, Korn/Ferry International and  Heidrick & Struggles.
