About this listen

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?

Interesting but repetitive
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

A masterclass in getting shit done !
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 !

Instinct for better or worse
What stands out in this epic listen is the intertwining of relationships, yet the somewhat clear cut nature of Elon makes it plain sailing. It all makes logical sense, reflecting values and intent.
Troublingly the impact of instinct in certain circumstances makes for choppy waters.
A worthwhile listen. 🙏🏼

I love Elon
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

It’s not easy being a genius
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.

Amazing tale of the life of a real-life Tony Stark
Despite numerous personality defects, Musk continues to drive humanity forward. A life well lived!

Throughly enjoyable insight of a great man.
An intriguing man perfectly explained. Couldn’t put it down if that is possible with an audible book. Loved it.
