Hi guys, I know I speak a lot about alcohol. I’m outspoken about it and you know, it’s a habit and you guys know what it is about, right? But today I want to talk about something different. I want to talk about this book I read this year. For those of you who don’t know, Walter.
Saxon has written some incredible biographies. He’s written the one for Jobs, the best biography He’s also written one for I think Leonardo da Vinci and one for Einstein and he’s done another book about authors and this is Elon Musk by Walter I.
Saxon I think this is a joy for all readers and it’s a joy for all people who like technology it’s a joy for all men who are looking to get forward now I’m 40 years of age and reading this book was quite an eye-opener because if you want to understand the body of work that is Elon Musk, you need something like this .
Table of Contents
Why Should You Read Elon Musk?
I think what happens is that we often appreciate the amount of wealth somebody has but we need to learn to appreciate the struggle they have been through. If you go through this book, it has 95 chapters, you know.
Starting from the beginning of his life, his roots, his parenting, his brothers, his disease, everything makes you understand the person he is and why he has that personality.
Make no mistake, Elon Musk is the true alpha of all alphas of all alphas. He is the ultimate, you know, alpha. Now, what do I mean by alpha? He has to get his point through no matter what and I think that stride in him propels him forward in life.
He’s made so many companies, he’s done so well but he’s also had a lot of blunders and a lot of misfortunes along the way. Losing your firstborn child in a freak accident or in a very bad way was quite sad, you know. He lost his first child and then you know, he came back from that. He had a lot of business mishaps.
A lot of people don’t like him in the industry industries. It’s a lot of things that I go around about Elon Musk. However I think this book is a definite way of understanding who he is and what you need to do in your life. how to make a perfect service, how to make a perfect product, how to have that quantity of mind and that conviction to believe in yourself, even when nobody else does.
You know, seeing a dream is one thing, but having the conditioning to take that dream forward and to, you know, rise above in ranks and to make something like Tesla, which is a world-changing, I mean world changer, right?
Everything in the world has changed because of Tesla. Also, if you look at his SpaceX, it’s unbelievable what he has done for space navigation.
NASA
He has painstakingly removed a lot of the prerequisite conditions of NASA and of the International Space Station and he has completely reinvented the wheel, so to speak and he has done so in an amazing fashion.
He has got rid of all the things that are unessential and he has had the guts to take away a lot of things from the rockets which are not essential as per Elon Musk.

So this is a journey and I strongly encourage every man to undertake this even if you are 50 or 60, if you are 20 and if you read this book, I don’t know. I think it will leave you with maybe a 5% better mind. Okay and that 5% better mind will translate into a 5% tilt or a 5-degree tilt in your axis of understanding of the world and over time it will cause a great concourse of change in your life.
So this is Elon Please note this book is not available on Audible India. It is available on Audible USA but in India, you don’t have the audible book so you have to either read it on Kindle or you have to read the paperback.
There are a lot of photographs in this book. As I said, 95 chapters and a lot of photographs are also in the book, so you’ll see his journey along the way. For example, here you see him appear on Saturday Night Live. This is around the time DogeCon was kind of doing the rounds and was very famous. It was at 70 cents when I purchased it.
And he came on Saturday Night and everybody was hoping that he would say something about Dogecoin which is also a meme coin but he did not say anything besides that he I mean this is an incredible guy man here you see him with Sam Altman for those of you who don’t know who Sam Altman is he is I’m forgetting who he is to be fair with you but he is he has created something Sam AltmanHe’s a software engine, entrepreneur, sports car enthusiast who has Musk-like intensity.
He has worked with these incredible people. To make a truly great company like Tesla, you have to work with great people. And Musk has been, Musk has that energy to attract greatness toward him.
He’s the ultimate great. But everybody who worked for him was also a great person. And he worked with some 150 amazing people and knew all of their accounts in this book. So anyway, man, I plead with you to go ahead and purchase this book. I will leave a link in the description if you want to buy it.
You can use that link and yeah, man, I will come up with more such book reviews. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a good fiction book, this is probably the best book I have ever read. This is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Again, this is an 850-page juggernaut, which will take you a month or so to read.
But The Goldfinch won the Pulitzer Prize in 2014. Donna Tartt writes one book every 10 years, and she is my favorite author. It’s a fiction book. It’s about a little boy whose world undergoes tragedy because he loses his mom.
Umin a weird blow-up of a bomb and how that changes his life but it’s not just about losing your mother. There are maybe five or eight times in this book when I had to keep it down and be like my God what am I reading? It’s a brilliant book. As I said of the 400 or so books I’ve read in my life, The Goldfinch is probably number one.
So these two books, I’m so happy. I have read these books. I read this maybe three, four years back, The Goldfin but I wanted to get a paperback. I normally avoid paperbacks because I want to save the environment.
