(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- What does a quarter-century of proximity to one of the world's wealthiest, most private business leaders teach you? In his new book, "Ten Things I Learned from the Billionaire," author, former Rutgers lecturer, and now global podcaster, Calvin Barry Schwartz unveils a rare look at the mindset, discipline, and quiet power that define extraordinary success.

The business fable follows a young, ambitious salesman whose career takes a dramatic turn when he's unexpectedly mentored by an enigmatic billionaire. Through ten unconventional lessons, from the psychology of influence to the architecture of a legacy, Schwartz reveals wisdom forged in boardrooms where billion-dollar decisions were made in silence rather than spectacle.

Across the pages, readers step into a world few ever access: private conversations, invisible strategies, and the disciplined thinking patterns that separate the exceptional from the merely successful. This is not celebrity entrepreneurship; it's the quiet, deliberate blueprint practiced by leaders who shape entire industries.

“This isn't theory from an ivory tower. These are lessons earned in boardrooms, manufacturing plants, and early morning cafés with a man who built a fortune by mastering himself first,” said Schwartz.“The greatest wealth isn't money, it's clarity, intention, and the courage to unlearn everything holding you back.”

Readers give the book five stars for its elevated wisdom and insight into the psychology of high achievement.

"Ten Things I Learned from the Billionaire" is available on Amazon in Kindle Unlimited, Kindle Digital, and Paperback formats. Readers will find a modern guide to ambition anchored in values, humility, and long-view leadership that outlasts markets, titles, and trends.
