SHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY APPLE, AMAZON, THE TIMES AND FINANCIAL TIMES

Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk offers the most intimate, complete and revelatory portrait of the most fascinating and controversial innovator in the world.

For two years, Isaacson had unprecedented access to Musk, his workplaces, his family, friends, coworkers and adversaries – nothing was off-limits.

Musk’s journey from humble beginnings to one of the wealthiest people on the planet is a thrilling, mind-bending story and nobody could tell it better. Filled with amazing tales of triumph and turmoil, and lessons about leadership and business, it ultimately addresses the question everyone wants to ask: why is Elon Musk so successful?

Too long with over emphasis on Twitter and recent events. Nevertheless insightful and interesting, I certainly don’t finish all books I purchase but here I listened to almost all chapters in full.

The story of Musk still has many chapters to come

Interesting but repetitive

Absolutely insane, you forget how much Elon has achieved.

I thought Walter Isaacson done a great job telling both sides with his achievements, showing his human side and demonstrating his will to win; whilst also addressing his demons, showing his sometimes lack of empathy and poor judgment at times.

Elon may be the most important person alive today in terms of pushing the limits of what is possible. A must read !

A masterclass in getting shit done !

An intriguing man perfectly explained. Couldn’t put it down if that is possible with an audible book. Loved it.

Throughly enjoyable insight of a great man.

This is a must read for Musk critics, but beware there is a risk that you will be converted into a fanboy once you understand his background and modus operandi. It is almost shocking to realise that Musk is a human being with flaws and worries. Thank you Mr Isaacson for helping us understand possibly the greatest genius of our time.

It’s not easy being a genius

Elon is the pioneer of our age. What he is doing for humanity is both inspiring and scary. This book is an incredible story about the journey Elon has undertook to get to where he is now. I look forward to the second book in 20 years and learning about FSD and colonies on Mars

I love Elon

Neatly chronicled to contextualise many of the seemingly mad Musk moments the world has witnessed. Fly on the Wall of The World’s Biggest Pain in The Ass….but greatest hope. On a personal level, it should incline you to stop holding back…

What progress relies on….the unreasonable SOB’s!

Superb
