I read “The 38 Letters From J.D. Rockefeller to His Son: Perspectives, Ideology, and Wisdom

John D. Rockefeller was born in a poor family with a con artist, bigamist father and became the world's richest man with an estimated network of over $200 Billion in today's currency.

He is a nuanced character with many flaws and many virtues, in this episode we learn from them both. We learn what advice about money, God, life, beliefs, relationships, business, charity, and happiness he deemed important enough to pass on to his son.

We are wise to learn from such a prolific man.
