Publisher's Summary

Bill Gates, more commonly known as the founder of Microsoft and richest man on the planet for almost two decades, has been defined by most people by the number that represented his wealth. We will not do that here.

We will, instead, look at the man beneath the public persona of mistaken assumptions and biased opinions to reveal what makes the man tick and what makes him do something that had never been done before.

Find out if a number of the prevalent myths about him are true:

  • Did he steal technology?
  • Did he get arrested?
  • What did he initially think of Warren Buffet?

These and a number of lesser-known facts of Bill Gates are presented here in detail with observations and analysis to help you unpack the complex life of a simple man.

Once you see the life he has lead and the skills he brought to the table, you should be able to find the same packet of ingredients within yourself and hopefully make your mark on this world.

We look at his parents and how they influenced his career, we look at how they raised him and the kinds of trouble he got into as a kid.

Bill Gates is a profound man who sees things differently and works at that with an energy that is uncommon. He is a genius by intellect and a highly focused individual who has no patience for sleep and wasting time.

Come on in and take a look at the life of one of the world’s most known individuals.

Narrator is not good

Narrator has problem in his voice. When he says something, sound comes for half of the word. For example he says power, but you listen wer only. Po does not have sound, he says it with air only. You have to figure out if it is power or shower. I listen when I am in gym. In gym I cannot pay minute attention to every words. I want narrator to read aloud and clearly so that whatever he says, directly goes into my brain.

Only half the book was Bill Gates!

I paid for 3 hours of Bill Gates. It only lasted 1.5 hours. The other half was the authors other book on Jack Ma I read months ago. Very disappointed!
