Books have always been a big part of my life. As a kid, I cherished a dream about becoming a librarian or a journalist.

The writing process filled me with immense (overwhelming) joy and true sense of artistic self-expression. Then came a book for grown-ups.

Now I feel blessed that I have my family, our morning jogging and healthy meals, travels and this big amazing world.

As an Elon Musk fan, I enjoyed reading this collection of quotes. I was a little disappointed that so many were redundant, but there were nonetheless some jewels. I recently read Musk's biography by Ashlee Vance, which I highly recommend, and this book of quotes was a nice refresher, though there are many sides of Musk that weren't reflected. He is far more complex than these would indicate. If you're really interested in getting to know who and what he is and how he got there, I you need to read Vance's biography.
Some of my favorite Musk characteristics are his "If you want something done right, do it yourself" philosophy and his "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem" management view. I was definitely impressed with the fact he's the father of 5 boys, a set of twins and a set of triplets, for which he has shared custody with his former wife, and that he'll take them to work with him. There's also the matter of his indomitable spirit that kept him pressing forward in spite of various failures. Having been bullied to the point of hospitalization as a child, he has definitely risen above that, definitely demonstrating that "the best revenge is to live well." None of this was covered by these quotes.
My personal opinion of Musk is that we need more people like him in this world of entitlement where so many are sitting around waiting for a handout or the world to come to them. He is the ultimate self-made man whose primary goal has not been money, but the good of the planet and humanity. While this quote book is a nice introduction, it barely scratches the surface of what he has accomplished and how much less his very humanitarian motivation. The quotes included match the title and are nicely documented (which takes up nearly half of the book), but if you really want to learn about him, this is only a drop in the bucket.

Great book. А lot of inspiration from Elon Musk. The quotations are conveniently arranged by subjects. This book contains some things I've never heard before. I'll continue to return to it when I need inspiration in all aspects of my life.

I don't know if the author ever met Elon Musk, but see a lot of work went into collecting the quotes. because I met an inventor, and wrote a book about the person, who had a way to create free or cheap energy and burn garbage with no pollution and was silenced, I am fascinated by people like Elon Musk who are trying to make the world a better place. There is also a bit of background n the man whose quotes or in this book I found interesting.

Some great quotes from a great man
I really enjoyed the quotes from Elon Musk. He is a very fascinating man and figure. While I understand that grammar should not be corrected in quotes though, some of the mistakes seem like a writers error, like when there are duplicate phrases and etc. I also wish this had been a longer book.

A quick read
I read this very quickly, had read/heard many of Musk's quotes, but found a few new and interesting ones. I especially enjoyed the quotes about SpaceX and Mars.
