    Brief review: It's a brilliant piece of work. Why will Tesla change the rules of the game in the car industry? How will Elon Musk colonize Mars? Today, Elon Musk is arguably the smartest, most courageous and visionary entrepreneur in the world. He has founded four billion dollar companies in just under 2 decades; including Tesla and Space X. He asked Tim Urban to look from inside and tell the world what his companies are trying to do. Tim is a world famous blogger and he wrote a series of 4 blogs on Elon Musk and his companies. It's a fascinating read.

    Brief review: Richard Branson is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. He is fearless. He is sharp. He is powerful. It is one of the finest autobiographies you could read. Branson gives an honest account of his personal and professional life starting from launching the 'Student' magazine at age 15 to launching Virgin airlines in his thirties to his philanthropic initiatives in later years. Taking on the might of British Airways is just one remarkable episode in his adventurous life. He lived on the edge every single day and created one of the most admired brands worldwide. The story of Richard Branson is too good to be true. A must read.

  • The Daily Drucker

    Brief review: Peter Drucker is considered a top management thinker of the 21st Century. He wrote over 30 books and numerous essays and this book is a summary of his most powerful ideas. Curated by Joseph A. Maciariello, the book gives you 366 insights on business and management. I liked these snippets and there is wisdom for everyone but a lot of his thoughts and ideas will resonate more with CEO's and top management of national and global corporate giants.

    Brief review: What a book! I bet if you start reading it, you will finish it at one go. A perfect recipe for success. Few books have ever been written in a gripping story format giving the essence of life and business. It's about a struggling salesman Joe who finds a super successful mentor, Mr. Pindar teaching him the five laws of stratospheric success. The key message in the book is - 'when you give, you get' and 'your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them'. A must read of everyone.
