Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. by Ron Chernow by Ron Chernow

Boomy Tokan recommends Chernow’s autobiography of business tycoon and ground-breaking philanthropist John D. Rockefeller.

John D. Rockefeller was an extremely shrewd businessman, and when it came to his philanthropic activities he was a great giver – highlights Tokan. Rockefeller was a committed donor from a young age and his extensive funding for educational and health causes helped the United States to start on its path as a leading scientific country.

The book has influenced Tokan’s path in business too; he liked Rockefeller’s attitude around money and family. “Rockefeller lived a very disciplined life, and that disciplined life helped him to be extremely successful. When we talk about business, it’s not in isolation of all the other parts of your life. Business is part of who you are.” – says Boomy.
