Character is Destiny

<b><i>Character is Destiny</i> provides a rare and unique glimpse into Pehr Gyllenhammar's professional triumphs and failures; and his successful efforts to shape industry in Europe most notably with his creation of the European Roundtable of Industrialists which revitalized Europe's infrastructure through projects like the France-England Channel Tunnel. </b><p><i>Character is Destiny</i> also provides a window into his friendships with some of the great luminaries of the world. It is equal parts history politics and Gyllenhammar's own personal philosophy-the foundational elements of his life have always been humanism a fierce commitment to integrity and truth and a deeply-rooted respect and admiration for the working class. <p>The author of six previous books published in Sweden for the first time Gyllenhammar has chosen to create an original English-language book in concert with an American editor/writer. The resulting work is directly relevant to the English-language reader and <i>Character is Destiny</i> offers his own wisdom as to what people must do if they hope to see a future in which global business and democracy will survive.
