I understand why so many people like this book
Reviewed: 07-04-24
I didn't love it as much as some people who found it so revelatory but perhaps I've heard about so many of the concepts already because the book's concepts are so widely shared. Either way, I really liked the book and the author.

I've listened to hundreds of books. This is the best one. So funny and Gary has such an incredible way of telling stories from growing up. Plus the book is so damn funny. Every paragraph, every sentence, every word is so carefully and perfectly crafted. And the book is hilarious! I'm the same age and grew up in the Boston area at the same time which made the book extra special. It is so funny. Gary is such a kind, sweet, thoughtful guy. The book is amazing and also.... funny! Gull Man, if you are reading this - THANK YOU!

When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.
