George Horace Lorimer is best known as the editor of The Saturday Evening Post, where he was credited with promoting and discovering authors like Jack London.

Lorimer compiled his life advice into the fictional letters from John "Old Gorgon" Graham to his son Pierrepont. John Graham is a Chicago-based pork and finance baron. In the letters Pierrepont receives advice for his different stages of life.

Old Gorgon's advice is packed throughout the book, easy to understand, and still rings true today.

Great timeless advice geared to young ambitious men but the guy is pretty racist and sexist which for the time makes a lot of sense but could offend someone

Great but those were the times...

This classic book is finally available in audio format. The narrator is doing an incredible job. Worth every cent (or credit).

Superb book

Very helpful info and entertaining. We should all have an elder giving this advice. More than worth the price.

Very Wise advice

Really good performance, the reader well suited to the topic. Good voice, will listen to Alan Taylor again with pleasure
The book is a gem, a reminder of the simple, fair, polite ways one should behave in order to succeed. And how important it is to be yourself, not somebody else's expectation of you.
A good read!

Timely in a timeless way

Good advice can be parsed out of offensive comments. Common white European language of the time.

Dated and derogatory towards minorities

I loved the story and the way his fathers learned life values and viewpoints were revealed.

What a great father and a great book.

Moments of blunt humor.

Long before I subscribed to Audible, I read this physical book. Not only that, I read it several times. It is absolutely outstanding and quite humorous. Unfortunately, the reader here has no grasp whatsoever of the humor in the father's admonitions to the son. Thus, the performance leaves one with a rather drab and uninteresting read. I would return it if I could, but I allowed the return time frame to run too long past the date I could have returned it. I, most emphatically, would not recommend this performance of an otherwise most interesting book.

Do not buy this version of the book.
