Are you ready to sharpen the skills that fuel extraordinary success?

In this sequel to his bestselling How to Make a Few Billion Dollars, renowned entrepreneur Brad Jacobs delivers a detailed playbook for mastering business success at scale. He explains how to partner with the smartest global investors, integrate acquisitions into cohesive profit engines, and build organizations where culture, compensation, and talent are perfectly aligned. How to Make a Few More Billion Dollars is both a practical how-to manual and a rich trove of insights you can apply to your own ambitions.

Jacobs reveals a wealth of proven techniques for cultivating a winning mindset—the foundation of his formidable track record as a Wall Street moneymaker. He details the meditation and psychological tools he uses to stay centered amid chaos, lead with clarity, and reframe irrational beliefs and cognitive distortions. His step-by-step mindfulness methods apply to any goal, whether you want to transform a global industry or create monumental value in any other area.


Jacobs concludes by distilling 2.6 million years of technological and tool-making evolution before confronting the responsibilities leaders face in shaping the future of AI. He presents four potential outcomes for humanity—from collapse to utopia—and argues that our choices right now will determine whether we merely survive or truly thrive at levels once unimaginable.

substance is fine but doesn't qualify as a book. more of a sub stack piece

3.8 ⭐️ Quick read into Brad Jacob’s thought processes and target signals — more relevant/valuable for those who follow him or the industries he enters rather than a general business book for the average reader. Was very helpful they included a summary of the first book at the end.

Should have been a blog post

[Tyler Hoffman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Would have been 5 stars if longer / more substantive. Highly recommend the industry ID, org design, and integration chapters for anyone in M&A

Was a nice short audiobook to listen to, to pass the time a mean it was certainly helpful in many ways of learning.
The only main issue I did really have with this audiobook is that, it was short one and I did feel that it could of went on for another few hours in my opinion.
I really enjoyed the narrator throughout this audiobook as well, I would love to find more works by this narrator in the future.
Thank you to netgallery for allowing me to listen to this audiobook.

I found this book hard to follow what its aim was to be honest. The first few chapters felt more like a health and well being book then middle part was talking through some helpful topics but feels very unattainable and not for the normal business owner and the last part was spent talking about acquisitions of billion dollar companies. Then spent time going into what he believes will happen to human kind because of AI. Again som helpful thoughts but felt a little unfocused to me.

This book is helpful with adjusting to the expansion of AI all while still maintaining our human mentality. It blends how to gain a wealth mentality with how to grow with the ai change instead of fighting it.
Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A+ merely for the awesome meditation and self-talk sequence in the beginning.
Short and enjoyable read. Less of a book and more of a 1hr interview
