Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad...
A little low on substance. I wouldn't exactly call it "lessons in life", but maybe "some stuff I've picked up along the way... and I like balloons!" It is a quick and encouraging read, though, from a fascinating character! Would love to read the same book with a lot more substance.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great read - but very quick
If you are looking for a book you can get through in 1.5-2 hours, then this is great. It is a fun read. A little bit inspirational, a little bit comedy, a little bit of self propaganda, and a lot of Virgin advertising, this book will not help you become a millionaire overnight, but it will make you think about how taking risks can ultimately pay off. I particularly love the story about how Sir Richard Branson started Virgin airlines.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL !
I have read hundreds of business biographies, how-to-do and business books. This is one of the best and I recommend it, because it inspired me like no other business book. The most interesting suggestions are:
- Have fun, work hard and money will come.
- When it's not fun, move on.
- Be bold, aim high.
- Try new things, always try.
- Challenge yourself.
- Money is for making things happen.
- Always think what you can do to help.
My preferite is:"Live life to the full". I recommend this book to every busines student, worker and manager, to reconnect their humanity with their business role.




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Gorgeous! But you should buy and read his others
I read the author's "Losing My Virginity" in 2005, rated it a five star with the title "Entertaining, fun, motivatonal, inspiring, simply irresistable!" In fact, I described it as the best biography in my Listmania List. Though I did know this one is just a short update to that, I couldnt help but read it, and still found it very fascinating. Upon writing this review, I just found that there is an 256 page Expanded Edition which is double the size of this. I strongly recommend any potential reader to buy either "Losing My Virginity" or the "Expanded Edition" (which explains the four star here). You will thank me for that.

p.s. Below please find some of my favorite passages for your reference.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with that first step. If you look ahead to th end, and all the weary miles between, with all the dangers you might face, you might never take that first step. ... Read More
