Tom Butler-Bowdon

He graduated from the University of Sydney (BA Hons, Government and History) and the London School of Economics (MSc Politics of the World Economy).

[1] Butler-Bowdon is most notable for the 50 Classics series of books, which provide commentaries on key writings in personal development, psychology, philosophy and economics.

Most people only have the time to read a few books a year, but just a single important insight could put them on the path to something great.

"[6] Bruce Rosenstein described Butler-Bowdon as "a curator extraordinaire, and unerringly determines the appropriate books to cover, which is far from an easy task.".

Within this series he has provided critical introductions to Think and Grow Rich, The Science of Getting Rich, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Machiavelli's The Prince, Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Plato's The Republic, Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, and Florence Scovel Shinn's The Game of Life.
