About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

This is the story of my entire life so far... It’s been a rollercoaster ride and I have no intention of getting off any time soon.

Available exclusively in audio, Losing and Finding My Virginity is both of Sir Richard Branson’s multi-million-copy bestselling autobiographies in one combined edition, fully revised and updated, and read for you by the author in full for the first time.

From living on a houseboat to a paradise island home, growing a small business into the global Virgin brand, turning a childhood dream of flying to space into a reality, and building a better world through business, this is an account of almost six decades of entrepreneurship, overcoming the odds and reaching for the stars.

With lessons in life and in business, Losing and Finding My Virginity is a must-listen memoir and an inspiring guide from the ultimate entrepreneur.

Branson has a list of achievements unmatched by any other UK businessman. For anyone burning with entrepreneurial zeal, his reminiscences are akin to a sacred text. - Mail on Sunday

A remarkable story of business success against the financial odds – having created one of the world’s most admired brand names, Branson is entitled to tell it all. - Evening Standard

Really love this man and his stories, an incredible life which shows no signs of slowing down. Personally I love the Virgin Records and Virgin Atlantic startup stories. Also loved the final part of the book when he outlines all the close shaves he’s had in his life 😂. I did have one issue at the outset with the narration which was not like the previous Branson titles (a little dull and not that engaging), this being said he perks up at around the 5 hour mark and he’s back on form. A+ content as always Richard 👍

Extremely insightful and inspirational

I've read the books, and was looking forward to revisiting them via the audiobooks. You'd think, with Richard reading them himself, it would add to the authenticity and connection with the listener. Unfortunately, the recording is sub-par. It sounds like he is in a cupboard rather than a recording studio. Also Richard does not quite hit his stride until later on in the recording. It's not bad enough to make it unlistenable, far from it, but it does mar the enjoyment.

Great Story - Below Par Recording

I enjoyed listening to Losing and finding my virginity. In 2007, I stopped smoking cannabis as I realised I was allergic to it. To fill the time, I read Sir Richards Branson's autobiography; it was the only one I read entirely as I started books but never finished. That book gave me so much inspiration and kick-started my life. Thanks once again, Sir.

The balloon adventures made me feel as if I was there

The fact that the audio quality is so poor in places is an analogy of why Richard Branson is so successful (there are overdubs throughout that sound like they’ve been done on his phone in an echoey bathroom). He never lets perfectionism stand in his way of just getting things done. A great book & full of a thousand lessons for us all.

An astonishing story of a man who sees barriers as a wonderful challenge.
