He stuck to these virtues tirelessly. He believed himself to be a man of God and religion. He took several steps to ensure this idea was maintained. Come what may. He never questioned God. HIs faith gave him release when the world questioned his conduct. He only worshipped stronger. 2. The writing of this book is exemplary. The verses will hypnotise you with how well each page is written. You can live your whole life in the breath of a chapter of what Rockefeller did in a year. The reverence to the protagonist is well measured. 3. Rockefellers' words, ideas, thoughts, belief systems - will have an impact on the most surly of readers. you can't help but admire everything about him. 4. This is the best book I have read this year and I doubt I will read a better one. It was most arresting to follow the progress of Rockefeller. I read many biographies. This is one of the absolute best. Why? The chronology and characters in his life are all so well placed. 5. Where this is hypocrisy and counter objecting circumstance, the author soars and maintains a very equitable account. Not easy but masterfully done. Review: Wow. - Easily the best biography I’ve EVER read, (well apart from Autobiography of a Yogi), Titan is a marvel. Written in a flawless, lucid style, the book describes the life and times of John Rockefeller, the legendary business tycoon of 19th century America. Described unfairly as a robber baron, Rockefeller amassed a fortune and an empire the world had scarcely seen. Yes, he ruthlessly ripped apart competition; yes he bribed his way to industrial sovereignty. But one must not forget that he was working his way in old frontier America, an America which hardly had any competition or industrial laws. Cowboy capitalism was the name of the game, and Rockefeller was our Clint Eastwood- the strong, silent leader. Reading this book is an education- one sees the forces of capitalism, law, politics and personalities clash and collide, creating new industries, new wealth and new leaders. Its wonderful. Its addictive. What stands out in the whole narrative is the man himself- Rockefeller was an enigma. Deeply religious, he often displayed eerie powers of self control and awareness. His rock-solid composure often made me think of the Bhagwan Gita’s idea of samata. Despite one setback after another, this man just pushed on. Not only do we get to know how he made his empire, but also how he retired at the age of 55 and devoted himself fully to philanthropy and religion. It was Rockefeller who started the University of Chicago and many other educational and medical institutions. What is striking is to see how difficult, how exhausting and nerve wracking even philanthropy proved to be. When you see and read what Rockefeller went through, you often wonder whether accumulating wealth is worth the trouble Truly a titan. If you’re interested in fascinating men, or even the growth and spread of corporate America interlaced with law and politics, just go for it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,038 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #45 in Economic History (Books) #469 in Biographies & Autobiographies (Books) #556 in Analysis & Strategy | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,721) | | Dimensions | 15.42 x 4.55 x 23.32 cm | | Edition | 2nd ed. | | ISBN-10 | 1400077303 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1400077304 | | Importer | Penguin Random House India Pvt Ltd | | Item Weight | 1 kg 50 g | | Language | English | | Net Quantity | 2.20 Kilograms | | Packer | Penguin Random House India Pvt Ltd | | Print length | 832 pages | | Publication date | 30 March 2004 | | Publisher | RHUS | ## Images ![Titan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wB730RT7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book of the year. *by K***D on 28 July 2025* Here's a few reasons you should read this book, 1. with the strength of his own conviction, Rockefeller chose his virtues and vices.

But I wish that delivery time for this book after I’ve replaced it should be minimal ## Frequently Bought Together - Titan: The Life of John D.
