Acerca de esta escucha
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.
Don’t wait any longer! Download now to discover more about some of the most successful businessmen and world-changing innovators this world has ever seen.

Historia
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.

Historia
Jack Ma is the quintessential simpleton who has a big heart and wants everyone to share in prosperity. He comes from humble beginnings, had trouble getting to school, had trouble finding a job, but did everything right despite the forces that were arrayed against his intentions. We all have that life where we feel the world just doesn’t value what we have to offer. Jack certainly felt that way, but eventually he found his stride. Today he sits at the top of a global behemoth that boasts sales of $1 billion in the first five minutes of its annual sales event.

Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us - an ambitious urban entrepreneur who rose up the social ladder, from leather-aproned shopkeeper to dining with kings. In best-selling author Walter Isaacson's vivid and witty full-scale biography, we discover why Franklin turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind his new-fangled spectacles. In Benjamin Franklin, Isaacson shows how Franklin defines both his own time and ours. The most interesting thing that Franklin invented, and continually reinvented, was himself.

Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now.

Historia
Meet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America's heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world. The undisputed merchant king of the late 20th century, Sam never lost the common touch. Here, finally, inimitable words. Genuinely modest, but always sure of his ambitions and achievements. Sam shares his thinking in a candid, straight-from-the-shoulder style. In a story rich with anecdotes and the "rules of the road" of both Main Street and Wall Street, Sam Walton chronicles the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to lasso the American Dream.

He was building a new kind of startup—a digitally native, direct-to-consumer brand—out of his Manhattan apartment. Bonobos was a new-school approach to selling an old-school product: men’s pants. Against all odds, business was booming.

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.

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. 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.

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.
