Looking for more literature, that was written by (1) successful people, and (2) intended for a private audience.

Most self-help books are written by professional authors, who are no different from a “fan talking about their favorite sport”.

I came across “Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son” by “George Horace Lorimer”

This post on forbes, highlights some gems from this book: “9 Timeless Business Virtues from a 19th Century Self-Made Millionaire” (it was written by Ryan Halliday)

So, I am looking for more literature, that was written by (1) successful people, and (2) intended for a private audience. Even my example above, will fail (2), because “George Horace Lorimer” probably intended to publish these letters.
