Robert A. Caro has written 6 books and won 2 Pulitzer prizes. The quality of his work is second to none. The dedication and determination to complete these books is nothing short of amazing. He's not done yet; at 88, he is still working to complete the 5th and final volume of his Lyndon B. Johnson series.
In this episode, we discuss his coverage of Robert Moses of New York and President LBJ. Not being literary experts here at Investor Professor, we highlight a person (Robert A. Caro) as someone we admire for being dedicated to their craft. It's admirable and hard to find those who have so dedicated themselves to a single purpose that you should take the time to acknowledge it when you find one.
Robert Caro's books are about gaining and using power, but his writing has also provided a masterclass in determination, grit, and the personal sacrifice it takes to be excellent.
