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.
Don’t wait any longer! Scroll up and click the "Buy Now" button to learn more about the man behind Microsoft.

One sided
Bought this hoping for a full bio on Bill Gates but this is a condensed and extremely one sided account of him. It then goes on to Jack Ma and Branson. So it’s 3 brief looks at 3 successful men.

Dated but good
I knew the history of Bill Gates fairly well but I learned a lot listening this book. I am 20 years old, but the information is very good.

Well, it showed me
Well, it showed me that Bill Gates wasn't as great as a genius as all he was spoken to be. He worked hard for 10 years before he started his software business, heck, I was hoping to see one does not have to "work hard". Book also showed he was an "addict", addicted to computer when he was just a kid. So, he falls under the category of someone who has the insanity of 'passion".

Very interesting
Very easy to listen . My favorite concept from the book is that Bill would rather receive bad news than good news because bad news is actionable.

Confused, babbling, waffle. Do not buy.
The book is confused as to whether its a self help book for want-to-be entrepreneurs or a biography of Bill Gates. It fails spectacularly at both and this ends up being neither. Total cringe fest that should never have been published.
