Though the book is not very smooth and easy-to-read (sometime Branson throws in too many barely valuable facts or names), many pieces are indeed interesting and worth thinking about.Pretty much impressed by Branson's determination to solve global social, health and environmental problems the world is facing. Respect.

Like a pleasant and yet educational fireside chat with Sir Richard. Gives some nice insights into key events in Virgin's history, the man's modus operandi and - as an extension of that - the culture that he has built at Virgin.

Haven't read any other Branson titles, but this one was a lot of fun.Branson took me on an amazing roller coaster through the ups & downs & lessons learnt of several business choices. The examples he's chosen have opened my eyes to areas I have yet to learn about as well as provided a new perspectives on aspects of business I've only had basic initiation into.I want to be *this* engaged & excited by the endeavours I undertake. Picked this one up on a whim as there is a limited number of english-...

The culture of Virgin is a key component of the why the Virgin companies have been successful. Whilst there is not a step by st...
