Ryan Holiday: 25 Recommendations For Life Changing Biographies For The Voracious Reader In You

by Joe Mobley
6 replies
To understand George Washington, you have to understand the American Revolution. To understand Rockefeller, you have to explain the Gilded Age. To understand Amelia Earhart, the author must make real to the reader what it was like to be a woman in the early 1900s. Often times, they do it better than books specifically about those topics-because there is a narrative and a lens through which to access the themes.

    Great collection of autobiographies.

    Any bio about a successful person can inspire me, since you can see that - most cases against there odds - they succeed.

    Thanks for the list I love to read and I love to know how a person got started and what they had to go through. A lot of times with the famous, people imagine for them a life without struggle everything came easy or maybe they were just lucky. It is nice to know how hard some people had it or how much work went in to becoming successful. You can always learn a lesson from someone else's life.
