About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Runaway No.1 Bestseller by STEVEN BARTLETT: entrepreneur, podcaster and Dragon's Den star.

This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons.
This is a book about something much more permanent.


At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.

These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.

They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.

These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?

With highlights of original interviews from The Diary of a CEO podcast, this enhanced audiobook edition of The Diary of a CEO takes you to the heart of the 33 laws for success.

'Weaving the latest research, his own experiences, and captivating stories, Steven guides readers to redefine success and achieve their potential. This is a must-read for anyone dreaming of doing something audacious.' Jay Shetty, author of Think Like a Monk

'There is a new breed of CEO taking over the business world. The blustery, chest beating CEOs who act like they make no mistakes are being replaced by CEOs who talk about their feelings, lead with curiosity and are willing to work on themselves...and Steven Bartlett is leading the revolution!' Simon Sinek, author of Start with Why and The Infinite Game

'It's about time that we read about success in our modern world as seen by one who's navigated the path to success like no other. Intelligent, insightful, and real. I am humbled by how much I learned from Steven's work.' Mo Gawdat

Critic reviews

Weaving the latest research, his own experiences, and captivating stories, Steven guides readers to redefine success and achieve their potential. This is a must-read for anyone dreaming of doing something audacious.
There is a new breed of CEO taking over the business world. The blustery, chest beating CEOs who act like they make no mistakes are being replaced by CEOs who talk about their feelings, lead with curiosity and are willing to work on themselves...and Steven Bartlett is leading the revolution! The Diary Of A CEO is an essential companion for any leader who wants to take themselves on and lead us into the next generation.
It's about time that we read about success in our modern world as seen by one who's navigated the path to success like no other. Intelligent, insightful, and real. I am humbled by how much I learned from Steven's work.
From 'never disagree' to 'don't attack beliefs, inspire new ones,' this book contains surprising wisdom that will move you forward personally and professionally. I highly recommend.
Surprising and persuasive in equal measure. Steven's advice will supercharge your chances of achieving your biggest dreams.
Steven Bartlett has overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to become a mega-successful serial entrepreneur. Along the way, he has learned some valuable lessons about the importance of following a different and unconventional path to power, synthesizing his experience into practical laws that will challenge and guide you in the harshly competitive world we live in.
I've watched Steven Bartlett's journey from the start, always knowing he had that raw, fiery spark. Seeing him harness it, seeing him succeed, damn, it fills me with pure, undiluted pride. I'm on the sidelines, cheering him on, because this guy embodies the entrepreneur's spirit.

Listened in one sitting - So many incredibly profound actionable points, I felt myself nodding along. I wrote myself a plan to apply all 33 Laws in my business/life. The ending was a nice bonus to look forward to.

Blown away by this book…from day 1 of reading I made some really positive & impactful changes in my workplace which were inspired by this book. The laws are each invaluable in their own way & I feel this is a book that can be applied to anyone on any journey due to the way it relates to both business and life. I saw Stephen Live on his show and it was the highlight of my year- this book equally did not disappoint! Reassurance too that some of my ways of doing things are not wrong just because they are unconventional to others- thank-you so much! X

Law 32 My Favourite & Law 33 Genius :-)
