Bill Gates: The Man Behind Microsoft: A Look at the Man Who Changed the World We Live In
Bill Gates, more commonly known as the founder of Microsoft and richest man on the planet for almost two decades, has been defined by most people by the number that represented his wealth. We will not do that here.
We will, instead, look at the man beneath the public persona of mistaken assumptions and biased opinions to reveal what makes the man tick and what makes him do something that had never been done before.
Find out if a number of the prevalent myths about him are
Did he steal technology?
Did he get arrested?
What did he initially think of Warren Buffet?
These and a number of lesser known facts of Bill Gates are presented here in detail with observations and analysis to help you unpack the complex life of a simple man.
Once you see the life that he has lead and the skills that he brought to the table, you should be able to find the same packet of ingredients within you and hopefully make your mark on this world.
We look at his parents and how they influenced his career, we look at how they raised him and the kinds of trouble he got into as a kid.
Bill Gates is a profound man who sees things differently and works at that with an energy that is uncommon. He is a genius by intellect and a highly focused individual who has no patience for sleep and wasting time.
Come on in and take a look at the life of one of the world’s most known individuals.

Nice and compact read About the man
It is good read especially if you don't want the details that comes with reading biographies.I enjoyed it as it didn't focus on his wealth but his character development

I was shocked once I had this copy in my hands, to see how thin it is; 83pages. But J.R MacGregor being the author, I knew I would stumble upon some golden nuggets, he's authored books on Jeff Bezos, President Donald Trump, Elon Musk et cetra.
This turned out a pleasant read, a mini-bio of sorts one would say. MacGregor gives us some stories from behind the curtains such as how Bill Gates's father helped Howard Schultz buy Starbucks from its original owners, without using his (Gates Sr) money but something alot more precious.

Be aware that this is a very short book (really a short story).
I was really surprised how short this book was. One must put in too much energy to investigate a books size, when purchasing an e-book from Amazon. Since Amazon does not provide the number of words, it would be appropriate to describe this book as a "short story".
If this happens to me too many times, I might revert to reading a book in the olden-day format of paper. At least then, I can see what I am actually getting. I am left feeling like I was hood winked, if you know what I mean.

Waste of time
It’s about his abilities and influences not an account of his life. It is also very short. Do not buy.

very basic biography
Disappointing. Very short and minimal information regarding a great personality. This person is more interested in themselves than bill gates
