Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson

4.0

I LOVED this book. It helps that I am fascinated by Elon Musk's companies, and this book made me even more interested in him as a person and what it takes to drive progress the way he does. Isaacson does a masterful job of weaving together the personal element's of Musk's story and making inferences and suggestions of how that contributes to his work today without going overboard or drawing conclusions.

I have even more respect for all that Musk has accomplished (and learned a lot I didn't know about his SpaceX ventures) and there are lessons that I'll be applying to my own business and life. Even if you don't want to commit to reading this entire book, I recommend looking up Musk's "algorithm" for simplification.
