A perfect example of this in a book is Bob Iger's book, The Ride of a Lifetime.
The best things said about it
One thing that I would also add to that list it's another recent book similar to that vein about business and personal memoirs was The Ride of a Lifetime by Bob Iger.
Bob, and he recounts all of this in Ride of a Lifetime, comes out with, I think, one of the most brilliant campaign framings that I have ever heard.

Why people recommend it
The Ride of a Lifetime is a business memoir by Robert Iger detailing his leadership experiences and career at Disney. Jason Calacanis inquired whether his co-hosts had read the book on All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg while discussing Iger's return as CEO. Jim Mullane recommended the memoir on Modern Wisdom for the insights it offers on personal work ethic and executive leadership. Furthermore, David Rosenthal and Ben Gilbert referenced the book extensively on Acquired during a deep dive into Disney history. They cited specific excerpts and stories from the text, including Roy E. Disney's resignation letter criticizing Michael Eisner, Iger's campaign framing to secure the CEO position, his initial phone call with Steve Jobs, and the mounting corporate tensions between Disney and Pixar.
