In this bundle, we take a deep dive into the lives, successes, and failures of some of the most successful (and wealthiest) 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 did Steve Jobs create and lead what would later become the world’s first trillion company?

Did Bill Gates (the richest man on Earth for nearly two decades) really steal technology?

How did Jack Ma, who was denied a job working at Kentucky Fried Chicken (and was the only one of 24 applicants not to get hired), start 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 are answered. All of these myths are debunked, or truths verified.

A truly interesting look

A truly interesting look at a guy who always struck me as being an insufferable jerk. Turns out that he was indeed quite the jerk and this book makes no attempt to gloss over that fact. However, the book also gives us a look at Jobs' good side and what a fascinating side it was. This book will appeal to everyone from the total technical layman to professional computer scientists. It's really not so much about the technology but about the man. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

A common thread of the highly successful entrepre

A very thorough review of the Amazon story and a profile of its founder. As in other books I have listen about these success stories, the founder has been very arrogant, highly driven, very hands on, and at one or more times in the story, was extremely lucky at a pivotal time in the life of the company.

More About

This book about some great business people. It really didn't seem like biographies at all. I was a little disappointed.

A Driven Man

There is so much I didn’t know about Elon Musk before listening this book. From where he grew up in South Africa to his time at PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX I’m exhausted listening of his life’s work, so far. How much more is there to come from Elon Musk? Great listen , however, some what technical in spots for me.

Easy to listen

Easy to listen. But it's almost a 50% biography book of Jack Ma ~ rather than detailed of Alibaba itself. Was expecting more based on the book title.

Enjoyed this book

Enjoyed this book very much. Very interesting information. Very well written. A lot of facts. Most surprising info about the US government. They don't care to spend billions when millions would do it.

Amazing, Inspiring Biographies of Brilliant men.

Amazing, Inspiring Biographies of Brilliant men. The narrator's voice kept dipping in and out as if his head was turning to and from the mic. Even so, I highly recommend this book. Really makes one marvel at the depth of the people the stories are about. As well, shows the common and uncommon threads that we can use to propel ourselves in our own arenas.

Bill Gates And Golden Microsoft

Powerful! You will enjoy listening. The book explains what it took Bill Gates to build Microsoft and grow the computer revolution. Bill Gates was CEO of Microsoft Corporation and greatly empowered the world's computer industry with his effective and precious software. His book gives you great insight and deep vision on the challenges Bill faced. The book is much more than fascinating.

Unbiased, Intriguing, Timeless

These 5 books focus on the personality and character of each of the subjects. I like that they are all unbiased in their interpretation. Understanding the truth of the character and then relating their life to their achievements is the goal of each book.

My favorite points in this audiobook were:

1. Successful people - only compete with themselves.
2. Focusing only on contribution - will bring success.
3. Understand prosperity for all - is best for all.
4. Creativity - is seeing more (or further) than most.
5. Let the success of historical examples be your guide and a desire for achievement be your goal.
