Stephen A. Schwarzman's 4 Book Recommendations
- Accidental Presidents
- Principles: “Ray brings unique analytic insights about how to think about complex issues. His Principles is a must read. It's a gift to all of us.”
- Kissinger the Negotiator: Lessons from Dealmaking at the Highest Level: “Kissinger the Negotiator is a fascinating book about one of the most talented and unique strategists on the world stage who is thoughtful, strategic, charming when necessary and assertive when not. There is lots to learn by having his most important negotiations analyzed by academic experts who had extensive discussions with him about the thought process that drove his strategic and tactical choices in highly challenging situations. I found the book exciting to read. Others who spend their lives negotiating important matters will as well. Required reading for those interested in affecting the world of affairs.”
- Shoe Dog: “One of the good books I read recently and enjoyed was Shoe Dog, Phil Knight’s memoir on Nike. It was interesting to learn about his struggle to start the company.”
