The World's Richest Man: Carlos Slim In His Own Words edited by Taami Haas is another collection topical quotes on life, the universe, and everything various aspects of business, philanthropy, etc. sourced from articles and interviews by the Mexican business magnate (Wikipedia), who was #1 on the Forbes annual list of the world's richest people from 2010-2013, in the In Their Own Words series of such from inspiring leadership figures, free courtesy of publisher Agate's B2 imprint.

Currently free, probably just until the weekend @ B&N (also UK) & Amazon (not available to Canadians, but also free in the UK) & directly from the publisher's webcatalogue page (DRM-free PDF available worldwide).

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

A bit by default, but also because it's interesting to get a bit more of an international perspective on life, the universe, and everything business affairs and cultural matters than we're normally offered.

<-- it turns out we have a sombrero smiley; if we add a bunch of guitars, do we get a mariachi band? -->

Enjoy!

Description
When Carlos Slim claimed the top spot on Forbes's annual list of the world’s richest people in 2010 (a position he maintained through 2013), it was the first time since 1994 that the top spot wasn’t occupied by an American and, even more impressively, the first time ever that a person from a developing country rose to the very top of the list. Slim, who began his investment career at age 12, has much in common with another of the world’s richest people: Warren Buffett. But unlike the Buffetts, Gateses, and Zuckerbergs of the world, Carlos Slim remains a mystery to the general public, as compared to his closest peers.

The World's Richest Man: Carlos Slim In His Own Words is the most revelatory book available about this Mexican business magnate, comprised entirely of Slim's own thought-provoking and inspiring quotes. It is a comprehensive guidebook to the inner workings of the world's wealthiest man and one of its most prominent philanthropists. Over 200 quotes on business, investing, entrepreneurship, leadership, management, wealth, and life provide an intimate and direct look into the mind of this modern business icon.
