Am I Being Too Subtle?
The subtitle is Straight Talk from a Business Rebel and the author is Sam Zell (2017).
The writer's name should ring a bell because I have mentioned him more than once as one of the guys in the investing universe who I hold a deep respect for. This book tells his story and encapsulates many of his notions of living and investing that have made him so successful.
At heart, he is an entrepreneur and an opportunist. He is not contrarian for contrarian's sake, but someone who has always bucked convention in seeing the opportunities. He is creative, inventive, optimistic and willing to take risks, ultimately believing that where there is a problem that he can find a solution. As someone in the midst of building something, his story resonated deeply.
