Four Seasons: The Story of a Business Philosophy is the memoir of the founder of the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. It is an investor favourite and although I haven’t read it myself, a quick “Look Inside” on Amazon reveals that it will likely be an engaging tale.

Isadore Sharp was the son of immigrants, but went on to create one of the most successful hotel chains in the world based on the four principles of quality, service, culture and brand. And he started with property.

The Amazon product description implies that this version is in Chinese, but I don’t think it is – the cover page and “Look Inside” content is in English.
