Build wealth with purpose. Leave a legacy that lasts.

In this modern edition of Andrew Carnegie's classic writings, Building to Last distills the legendary steel magnate's most enduring ideas on ambition, leadership, and the responsibilities of wealth.

Born into poverty and self-educated through relentless discipline, Carnegie became one of the richest men in history, then gave away nearly all his fortune to philanthropy. This book pairs Carnegie's original essays with reflection prompts that help today's readers apply his principles to their own lives and enterprises. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader in transition, or someone focused on the legacy you'll leave behind, Building to Last offers timeless guidance from one of America's greatest visionaries.

Essential reading for fans of business classics like Think and Grow Rich and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, this inspiring volume reminds us that success is not only about what you build, but what you pass on.
