A Message to Garcia by 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 days. 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. This beautifully-designed volume (ISBN 144211942X; Kindle ASIN B004LROWH0 - beware of other editions) includes Hubbard's essays on Initiative, Attitude, and Ability, plus a selection of his best aphorisms. These extras make this by far the best available edition of the Message. Visit BestSuccessBooks.net to see our other classic success guides, including free books.
Writer, publisher, businessman, and philosopher Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) founded the Roycroft artisanal community of East Aurora, New York, a group devoted to the aesthetics and principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The Roycrofters published well-designed little books on many subjects in the spirit of William Morris's Kelmscott Press. Hubbard initially advocated for a mild form of socialism but later embraced free enterprise. He and his wife perished in the sinking of the Lusitania.
