this book was written a bit ago now 60s and while mostly written for male readers (just have to look over that part as a sign of the times) but it is extremely relavant and wonderfully helpful to get into the pulse of a very powerful man. my favorite parts were how he de-mystifies his lifestyle- saying it isn't always dreamy and what the drawbacks were to having so much wealth and also how he wished he had figured out how to succeed in marriage as he did with using and appreciating money. i appreciated his humility and his very straightforward style. I also loved the way that he really stresses the importance and the responsibility that wealth holds and how when you get more you are responsible for giving back more and helping more. I am so grateful for him as the trips to both Getty museums were so wonderful and I am so appreciative of all of his passionate extensions of giving back to the arts and the public at large.
