Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson (born 18 July 1950) is a British industrialist, best known for his Virgin brand of over 360 companies.
Branson's first successful business venture was at age 16, when he published a magazine called Student. He then set up an audio record mail-order business in 1970. In 1972, he opened a chain of record stores, Virgin Records, later known as Virgin Megastores and rebranded after a management buyout as Zavvi in late 2007. Branson's Virgin brand grew rapidly during the 1980s—as he set up Virgin Atlantic Airways and expanded the Virgin Records music label.
Richard Branson is the 261st richest person in the world according to Forbes' 2009 list of billionaires, with an estimated net worth of approximately £1.5 billion (US$2.5 billion).

理查德布兰森之所以牛逼,大概是因为: 1. 有双好爸妈,给孩子足够的自由,让他去做自己想要的事情,支持帮助他做自己想做的事情。 2. 从小就不守常规,做些破格的事情,长大后也保持着冒险精神,愿意多方尝试。他在书里引用了这样一句王尔德的话:比臭名昭著更糟的是默默无闻...
评分像个流水账,以时间顺序描述了自己的前半生,间或穿插当时的想法感受.自传或多或少都会修饰,或者选择性的发布,Richard应该也不能免俗,但这些都难以掩盖他的光辉事迹. I really wish I can live like this man, to do what's in mind, to fight for what I believes.
评分读完这本书之后才发现,原来一个人的生活可以这么多彩,一个人的人生可以这么“有趣”。向伟大的人致敬,向未来的自己点赞!“世界可以变得更好,我们有责任用经验、金融资源来解决一些社会问题。这可能要等上10年至20年才有变化,但这也让后人知道我们曾经努力过。” 每一个坎...
评分布兰森是我最喜爱的企业家之一,甚至没有之一。他的迷人之处在于不断挑战跨越行业、产业的边界;不循规蹈矩,不按照所谓的各种商业、品牌的定律行事。这不仅是因为个人的基因,成长环境给予的自信与魄力,我一直认为还有很多无法名状的不可言的成功之道;经常成功并没有固定的...
评分因为他一直不断的在寻找,寻找,寻找各种各样自己想做然后很简单,去做就好了,看到这个人的长相就觉得像只狮子,一只为了自己的理想而不断奋斗的狮子,周围还有很多跟班,呵呵,但是在他年轻的时候有人会说这种崇拜他的话吗?没有,这是时间和坚持和耐心带来的礼物。

Love him or loathe him, you've got to admit that Richard Branson has drive. And guts. And enough ambition to sink a battleship--or perhaps that should be a jumbo jet--or even a whole company of jumbos if the Virgin Atlantic/British Airways debacle (which takes up a huge chunk of this already sizable tome) is anything to go by.
Branson's autobiography makes immensely fascinating reading. Whatever you think of Britain's most famous entrepreneur the odds are that you will enjoy reading his autobiography. You may snort at descriptions of his "poor" childhood--spent eating bread and dripping while living in the kind of house house the majority of us visit on Bank Holidays and attending a "minor" public school. You may groan at memories of early initiative tests: how about being thrown out of the family car and told by his mother to find his way home--at the age of four? You may flinch at accounts of his early business days as an unwashed, unshod hippy magazine publisher living en famille with his staff in the crypt of a West London church. But all in all you'll get to understand where the guy's coming from--man.
And like the man himself, there's no holds barred here. Richard bares his soul, from childhood, school days (cheating at exams), loves and losses (lost one wife when a spot of wife-swapping went drastically wrong--for him) and death-defying adventures (yes, the balloons are all there) to the rise and rise of the Virgin empire. His interviews for Student magazine and the early days of Virgin Music read like a chronicle of popular music and culture in the late 20th century. Famous names bounce off every page. Prepare to be enthralled by the life and times of a walking publicity machine.
