Summary

Put aside what you read on the web about Elon Musk. There is a significant amount more to him than just his genius and his accomplishments. This book lays out the life that he had before arriving in the United States and looks at the boy inside who set a path for himself and literally went through the fires of hell before getting the opportunities that he wished for. He did not fall into wealth and he did not work his way up the corporate ladder, Elon made every bit of his life that you see today. 

Some of the stories that you find in this book will shock you and change the way you look at your own challenges. From arriving in a new country with just a few bucks and not knowing anyone, to working on farms and cleaning up after barn animals, to working in the fires of a toxic furnace, Elon Musk is an inspiration for a generation because he represents many of the values that define today's Millennials and the Generation X folks. 

From PayPal to Tesla to SpaceX, the driving force that built these icons of the imagination was the desire to make the world a better place for everyone; it was never about the money. This book gives you a deeper look and analysis of a man that defies the traditional mold of industrialist, entrepreneur, and achiever.

seems speculative

Okay but a lot of the info on the psychology of Elon seems very speculative. The author's understanding of psychology seems quite poor. For example it says many times that Elon has a photographic memory. There are articles in Psychology Today and Scientific America saying there is no such thing.

Admiration and appreciation.

Before retirement I was a project engineer on many projects. I have the greatest respect for and appreciation for and admiration for Elon Musk. I know superior talent when I see it. I wish him luck. I probably will not live to see it, but i see "why"" Mars and hope he makes it..

Elon Musk is probably the most amazing person

There really was nothing I did not like in this book. It was very well written. No one is changing the world like Elon is doing. I have to laugh at his detractors. Obviously they never listen his history.

Incredible and engaging

If things go as planned, Musk will go down in history as one of the most innovative entrepreneurs of our time.

Masterfully Composed Bio for a Phenomenal....

This Biography is a masterpiece. Literally erase what you THINK you know about this man, and prepare yourself to be "exposed" to what unfiltered dedication, ambition, and INTENTION look like.

Mars or BUST!

I am still in the process of listening this book as it is lengthy. Mr Musk is an amazing man with the spirit of a Steve Jobs who never says never. He is a very driven man and expects the same dedication in others. In this way he has developed a powerful business in the Telstar car as well as the SpaceX company to launch magnificent, innovative vehicles. He believes in travel to Mars and just might succeed.
