A Message to Garcia: And Other Essential Writings on Success
by Elbert Hubbard, Charles Conrad
Elbert Hubbard was that rarest of beings--a philosophical businessman. In 1895 he founded the Roycrofters, a community of artisans selling handcrafted goods. A prolific author, he was a favorite of Henry Ford, Theodore Roosevelt, and other great leaders of his time.
A Message to Garcia is Hubbard's most famous work. In it, he argues that the greatest hero is the man who simply does his job, completing the task no matter what the obstacles. Within Hubbard's lifetime, the Message was reprinted more than any book besides the Bible. Today, it is required reading at U.S. military academies.
This volume includes an introduction by Hubbard's personal assistant, Felix Shay, plus Hubbard's essays on "Mental Attitude," "Initiative," "Ability," and other qualities essential to success, making this the best available edition of the book.
This book is available in paperback, Audible audiobook, and Kindle e-book from Best Success Books.
The Kindle e-book is FREE when you buy the paperback.
