Book Summary –
Business Adventures is a classic collection of twelve masterfully written stories that explore real-life successes, failures, crises, and turning points in American business. First published in the 1960s, the book covers a wide range of corporate dramas—from the rise and fall of the Edsel car at Ford, to the stock market panic of 1962, to the courtroom battles of Xerox, insider trading scandals, and the complexities of corporate culture at General Electric. John Brooks uses storytelling to illuminate the human decisions, egos, flaws, and unexpected events that shape the business world far more than numbers alone. Each chapter is a standalone narrative highlighting timeless lessons about leadership, risk, innovation, ethics, and organizational behaviour. Revered by business leaders—including Bill Gates and Warren Buffett—the book remains a compelling examination of why companies succeed or fail and how people drive those outcomes.
