Some other books that are on the same lines I think you might be interested in is " the 48 laws of power" and " Art of Seduction".
Thanks

Fonzy,
I'm half way through chapter 2 of the book but from what I have read of his childhood, he learned from an early age from his mother about self-control. His mother would make the children reflect coolly before making decisions and learning to let themselves not to lose their temper at things. So, it sounds like from early childhood, he learned this, which allowed him to apply in his business. I have heard of the 48 laws of power; I will have to check that out and the other one I haven't heard of but will check it out.
Also, from an early age, Rockefeller learned to give money away as charity which his mother taught him. Since I have read this book once before the audio, I started donating my own money. Like the old saying goes "You give before you get."
