 From its creation as a mail-order record company to the literal launch of Virgin Galactic, today Virgin is one of the premier 'way-of-life' brands in the world, trusted and enjoyed by many millions of people.

In Business Stripped Bare, Sir Richard Branson shares the inside track on his life in business and reveals the incredible truth about his most risky, brilliant, and audacious deals.

What qualities does Richard look for in the people he hires? How does he manage a crisis? Who are the entrepreneurs he most admires? Find out what really happened when Virgin bid for Northern Rock and why Richard believes all businesses must work with governments to tackle climate change and invest in the future of our planet.

Combining invaluable advice with the remarkable and candid inside stories of Virgin's greatest achievements, as well as some of its setbacks, Business Stripped Bare is a dynamic, inspirational and truly original guide to success in business and in life. Whether you are an executive, an entrepreneur or are just starting out, Richard strips business down to show how you can succeed and make a difference.

Different from the books he has done before Richard Branson gives solid business advice from his own experiences.

honest business book

I enjoyed the read but felt he had some scripted parts (obliged to say for business reasons?). Found it less interesting than his "out there" persona...

Not as exciting as his persona

So interesting that I found myself making excuses to find time to hear more and got through it in a couple of days. Interesing insights and so much better that it's read by the man himself, from wherever he preferred.

An excellent listen

Inspirational, lots of great advice, namley, distinguishing entrepreneurship vs business management. Could have done without the SJW pandering, however years of carefree partying have probably created the guilt necessary to motivate political correctness on the part of R.B.

Excellent listening material. Inspirational.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Kinda? ....... Well in an even shorter explanation of this book is basically........ Look for new trends.....Listen to all employees opinions...... Recruit young enthusiastic management, with experts on some occasions..... and take the odd risk! His voice puts you in a trance of "what a nice guy". All put into a Virgin perspective.

Richard Branson is someone I admire enormously for his ability to achieve multiple successes over a long period of time, and that's something he talks about at some length. Once I started listening I couldn't stop - quite compelling.
I was surprised to find the narration was by Richard himself and I considered it a major bonus. He has a good easy-going style.
If you're in business - listen to this audiobook!

Great - i am a fun of Richard. Basic. I want more details. good that it's read by him.

Great stuff

This is a really good listen, not only from the practical `tit bits` and fascinating story of one of our Great business men, but vastly enhanced by the fact that it?s read by the man himself. Unlike his autobiography, Loosing My Virginity, Business Stripped Bare is an excellent listen as the author is able to articulate far more so than any narrator, the feeling and exhilaration behind the stories and history, the amusement and exasperation? A simple must read for all Branson enthusiasts and business managers alike. A definite will listen again too.
