Rick Joseph Caruso is an American businessman, civic leader, philanthropist, and author of Breaking New Ground: The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions (HarperCollins Leadership). He is best known as the founder and executive chairman of Caruso, one of the nation's leading privately held real estate development companies. His landmark projects include The Grove, one of Los Angeles's most popular shopping and entertainment destinations, and Palisades Village in Pacific Palisades. A longtime civic leader, Caruso previously served as chairman of the University of Southern California's Board of Trustees, president of the Los Angeles Police Commission, and a member of the Los Angeles Board of Water and Power Commissioners. In 2022, he ran for mayor of Los Angeles, finishing second to Karen Bass.

“…Breaking New Ground is a practical lesson in resilience, leadership, and building solutions that last.” —Jamie Dimon, Chaiman and CEO of JPMorganChase

Time and again, businessman Rick Caruso has discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. Ultimately, he believes, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.

Breaking New Ground is the story of how Caruso's philosophy was forged—from his immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to his own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.

Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through. Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, this book offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.
