By S. Truett Cathy

Eat Mor Chikin

This wonderful and inspiring book is the story of S. Truett Cathy’s life as he started and built up the fast food franchise known as Chic-fil-A. I wanted to read this book primarily because it was the story behind a company that was completely service driven. Their business model was based on customer loyalty and not customer manipulation. Reading the book made me want to tip my hat to Cathy, each chapter takes you a bit deeper into the man behind the chicken.

Cathy has over 100 foster children and he loves and supports them all. Do I see a reality show, Cathy and Jeanette plus 103. His love for life, and appreciation for honesty and integrity show through each chapter of the writing. This man puts God first in everything and has seen much success. Not often do you see such a publicly known for profit company with so much of its business model based on servitude for the Lord. Commendable if you ask me.

Eat Mor Chikin, will help you think about giving back. You will often put your decisions against his and realize areas in your life where you can offer more help or any help to those around you. I think this book is a good read for anyone let alone people who are interested in business and the Chic-fil-A history. S. Truett Cathy is an inspiring entrepreneur who we should all try to be a little more like. On another note though, I was expecting to read a bit more about the business. I wasn’t turned off when reading about the foster care, and the evangelical acts and random kindness that Cathy wrote about, I just was looking for more… meat. Good book though, I’ll keep this one around.
