Good, modern, civilized Western men today are expected to think like "citizens of the world" - obligated to everyone and no one. Natural, meaningful tribal connections have been substituted with synthetic, disposable consumer identities. Without a sense of who they are and what group they have a place in, modern men are becoming increasingly detached, disoriented, vulnerable, and ever more easily manipulated.

When Samuel Zemurray arrived in America in 1891, he was tall, gangly, and penniless. When he died in the grandest house in New Orleans 69 years later, he was among the richest, most powerful men in the world. In between, he worked as a fruit peddler, banana hauler, dockside hustler, and plantation owner. He battled and conquered the United Fruit Company, becoming a symbol of the best and worst of the United States: proof America is the land of opportunity, but also a classic example of the corporate pirate who treats foreign nations as the backdrop for his adventures.

Great Read/ Listen
Richard Branson takes you on a journey of his life - both from a business and personal perspective. He is a very down-to-earth guy, great sense of humour, and clearly a person with a great deal of integrity. There is a lot to be learned from this story.
Definitely worth a read/ listen.

Well written thankfully read by SRB.
Flows, beautifully well, describing SRB's life until the decision of a heavy weight match with British Airways.
Can't wait to get into the next chapters of Sir Richard's adventures, which are not for the faint hearted! Brilliant
