Curious about how Warren Buffett, Jillian Michaels, or Michael Bloomberg became so successful? Read about the road to success from these public figures and more who excel in a variety of careers. Each person also offers advice in addition to their candid recollections about success. An excellent book, especially for anyone looking for a mentor or just some career inspiration.

This is a fantastic book of short biographies of famous people who got where they are through non-traditional ways. It's an excellent book for those that aren't thrilled about college, but are driven and creative. (
