My Friend's Grandfather's Wisdom: Long Book Description
Discover timeless business lessons woven into a gripping historical fiction tale with My Friend's Grandfather's Wisdom: Lessons in Business from the Dawn of Industry by Mustafa Al-Dori. Set in the smoky mills of 1783 England, this entrepreneurship book follows Thomas Ward, a young craftsman fighting to save his struggling workshop during the Industrial Revolution. When his friend James shares a journal penned by his Chinese grandfather—a merchant whose flowing robes and calligraphy-filled pages brim with leadership wisdom—Thomas finds a lifeline. From vision and resilience to collaboration and innovation, the grandfather's Chinese wisdom guides Thomas through the chaos of mechanization, urban markets, and worker unrest.
