Rockefeller was the quintessential industrialist. He created an industry out of nascent oil and gas start-ups during a time when none existed. His strategies and tactics may not have been approved by all, but he was certain he was doing God’s work.

We live in a world today that is based on the actions of John D. Rockefeller. Everything we do and how we live are the result of oil and its power. This inherent structure is based on what one man did when the oil industry was just starting off. He was strategic in his thinking, choosing to enter the refining side of the oil industry instead of the exploring and drilling aspect of it. He started with one refinery and then quickly bought up more than 90 percent of his competitors in the state within a few short years.

The story of Rockefeller as told in this book provides a deep view of the oil industry and is told from a very human and real perspective. It looks at the events that shaped his life, from the shenanigans of his crooked father to the pleasant and philanthropic old man that he became. It is a story that is both instructive and interesting. It is a story of America itself told from the perspective of one of the world’s most successful men who rose from nothing and set the world on its path—a path that we still traverse today almost a century after his passing.

Read this book and learn about the conversations and twists and turns that were part of John D. Rockefeller’s life. Feel what he felt as he navigated happiness and disappointment, clarity and confusion.

About the Author

J.R. MacGregor has an obsession with studying the most successful people on the planet and discovering what common ground, if any, can be found among them. What makes them different?

That's what J.R. is after. Everyone from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and the founding of the United States to the founders of the American Economy like J.P Morgan and John Rockefeller and even to today's superstars like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, he covers them all. So pull up a chair, grab your favorite reading beverage, and open your mind to the possibilities of your own greatness.
