Historia
Ayn Rand’s complicated notoriety as popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult, reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure endured beyond her death in 1982. In the 21st century, she has been resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures, especially those on the political right, from Paul Ryan to Donald Trump. Mean Girl follows Rand’s trail through the 20th century from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and traces her posthumous appeal and the influence of her novels via her cruel, surly, sexy heroes.

The worst ever book about another book
Revisado: 11-29-19
If you hate Ayn Rand but cannot logically understand why, this book will add a justification to your feelings.
If you are a fan of Ayn Rand, then there's nothing interesting for you here. I have checked, trust me, save your time and money.
Light on facts, and heavy on condemnation, this didactic opinion piece contributes nothing to the story. I found no new information in the entire book.
Synopsis: Ayn Rand was a horrible human being because she was mean to some people who she considered evil. All of our modern-day troubles stem from Ayn Rand and her followers, like... Bill Clinton and Barack Obama among many others.

An interesting story, a HORRIBLE narrator
Revisado: 01-24-18
The story is interesting and timely. But the narrator is like a robot, not much different from Alexa or GPS navigator ladies. It was very difficult to concentrate on content with such a narrator.

Historia
Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Historia
You live in your dream house, but there's no mortgage. No alarm clock, no boss, no bills. No claims on the day's time other than what you choose. It is making more money before breakfast than you made for an entire week at your last job. It is a crazy expensive car parked in your garage, a victorious symbol that your dreams no longer sleep in fantasies, but are awake with reality.

Awesome continuation to The Millionaire Fastlane!
Revisado: 08-03-17
Second best book ever! Second only to TMF by the same author. The book gives a theoretically sound guide to making large sums of money quickly. Quickly is not easy, and not guaranteed, so do not confuse this book with get-rich-quick books. Also, do not confuse it with get-rick-when-old financial guides peddled by the mainstream media and financial "gurus". This book is the real thing. There is nothing like it.

She made a fortune by selling $7000 coaching
Revisado: 05-26-17
This book is a waste of time. The author made her fortune by selling this book and other wealth advice. According to her wealth is not earned or made but "manifested". Her philosophy is an incoherent mix of "The Secret", faith in the universe, and a load of fowl language. Her voice is annoying, especially when she says the word "money".

Historia
While building the Virgin Group over 40 years, Richard Branson has never shied away from seemingly outlandish challenges that others (including his own colleagues on several occasions) considered sheer lunacy. He has taken on giants like British Airways and won, and monsters like Coca-Cola and lost. Now Branson gives an inside look at his strikingly different swashbuckling style of leadership.

Branson appears to be a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. This book confirms it. Lacking in depth and content, it mostly have an entertainment value.

Good story, kindergarten voice narration. The narrator tells the story with a smile and occasional giggles.

Skip the chapter on Communism
Revisado: 02-26-17
Would have been 5 stars if the author had kept his pink collectivist ideology to himself. Skip the chapter where he talks about Communism and you will then enjoy the book.

What a disappointment!
Revisado: 12-02-16
This book does not cover travel or motorcycles much. it is a plotless drivel that came to fruition after a copy and pasted job was completed on a blog of a local celebrity. It is full of useless trivia and superficial observations. The narrator sounds like a 60 year old vegan guy whose joy in life is limited to eating cereal with soy milk in the morning. I have never heard of a rock group called Rush. If you are not a fan then skip and save your 1 credit and a of disappointment.

Curious but not very interesting. It reflects the confused philosophy of the "Progressives" from 100 years ago.
