Business Biographies and Memoirs: 6 Manuscripts: Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jack Ma, Richard Branson

by J.R. MacGregor

In this bundle we take a deep dive into the lives, successes, and failures of some of the most successful (and wealthy) men on the planet. What makes them different? What is it about them that makes them super-achievers? You will discover all of that and more.
What is it about Jeff Bezos that allows him to change the way the entire world shops (and become the richest man on the planet in doing so)? How does Elon Musk go from working in the fires of a toxic furnace to leading the charge in space travel? How Steve Jobs created and led what would later become the world’s first trillion ($1,000,000,000,000) company. Did Bill Gates (the richest man on earth for nearly two decades) really steal technology? How Jack Ma was denied a job working at Kentucky Fried Chicken (and was the only one of 24 applicants not to get hired) and then went on to found the company that would later set the record for the largest IPO in the history of the New York Stock Exchange . We will even show you how Richard Branson might not be as rich as people think. He is, in fact, richer. All of these questions answered. All of these myths debunked or truths verified.

[Owen · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is one of the vaguest, most self involved and derivative books I have read. The book almost spends more time covering the author’s own perceptions and memories of the events initiated by the book’s purported biographical subjects than on the subject themselves. Yes, there are some good biographical elements which were probably paraphrased from better biographies written by others, but the book continually refers to itself and discusses “the purpose of this book” and “this book” and “what I’ve been trying to say with this book” at numerous intervals, and claims to “cut through the hyperbole” and “provide critical analysis”. It does none of this, but it does provide a superficially opinionated take on the lives of its subjects in a way that is annoying, pseudo-professorial, and difficult to read. I wish I could get a refund.

If you're into business success stories, this book is a great pick! It dives into the lives of six of the most influential entrepreneurs—Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jack Ma, and Richard Branson. Each story covers their struggles, breakthroughs, and the bold decisions that made them who they are.

I really liked how the book doesn’t just hype them up but also looks at their failures and controversies. It’s easy to read, engaging, and packed with interesting facts. Whether you're looking for inspiration or just curious about how these legends built their empires, this book is definitely worth a read!

Not an ordinary biography

This was a very good biography. It really get into what makes the person who they are. It does not brag of their accomplishments, it gets into the mid of who they really are.
