Ken Langone has seen it all on his way to a net worth beyond his wildest dreams. A pillar of corporate America for decades, he's a co-founder of Home Depot, a former director of the New York Stock Exchange, and a world-class philanthropist (including $200 million for NYU's Langone Health). In this memoir he finally tells the story of his unlikely rise and controversial career. It's also a passionate defense of the American Dream - of preserving a country in which any hungry kid can reach the maximum potential of his or her talents and work ethic.

Excellent lessons and entertaining stories
Revisado: 12-29-18
If you love stories about business and human nature this book is great. I enjoyed hearing Ken Langone tell his own story instead of a narrator. If a billionaire takes the time to do the audiobook himself you know he really cares about how his story comes across.Somehow I never heard of this man before but so glad I got the book.definitely worth the listen

"As nearly perfect as any American fiction I know," is how Reynolds Price ( The New York Times) described this classic that has been a favorite of readers, both here and in Europe, for almost forty years. Set in provincial France in the 1960s, it is the intensely carnal story - part shocking reality, part feverish dream - of a love affair between a footloose Yale dropout and a young French girl. There is the seen and the unseen - and pages that burn with a rare intensity.

Lots of sex but but otherwise quite boring.

Struggled to finish. I get the underlying message of the whole book but it sure took a long time to get there.

Meet Michael Blutrich, mild-mannered New York lawyer and founder of Scores, the hottest strip club in New York City history, funded by the proceeds of an insurance embezzlement scheme. All Blutrich wanted was to lay low, make the club a success, and put his criminal acts behind him. But the Mafia got involved, and soon the FBI came knocking. Scores became wildly popular, in part thanks to Blutrich's ability to successfully bend the rules of adult entertainment. Unfortunately for Blutrich, it would all soon implode.

In 2011, a 26-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine website hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything - drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons - free of the government's watchful eye. It wasn't long before the media got wind of the new website where anyone - not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers - could buy and sell contraband detection-free.

Jim Paul's meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it all - his fortune, his reputation, and his job - in one fatal attack of excessive economic hubris. In this honest, frank analysis, Paul and Brendan Moynihan revisit the events that led to Paul's disastrous decision and examine the psychological factors behind bad financial practices in several economic sectors.

first half of the book was great.

the first half of the book was very entertaining. Lots of great Stories. The second half of the book had some good strategies but got very repetitive.

Very interesting story --- bad narration.
Revisado: 03-05-15
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jason Vines - Very interesting career path.
What didn’t you like about Matthew Curtis’s performance?
A lot. There were many mispronounced names of both people and companinies. Does anyone proof listen to these things before they are published? Tempo was strange too.
it was just overall weird.
Any additional comments?
narration was not good.

A very entertaining tale
Revisado: 11-03-13
What made the experience of listening to The Zeroes the most enjoyable?
I have read and listened to many different books about Wall St. and the economic collapse. This book offered an insight from a different point of view than a reader is normally offered
What did you like best about this story?
The detail in which everything was described. Not only the successes but also the failures.
As an entrepreneur, I can relate to a lot of the struggles that Randall encountered.
Which character – as performed by Randall Lane – was your favorite?
This was probably a tie between Randall himself and Lenny "Nails" Dykstra.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Made me laugh and many different segments, especially the ones about "Nails"
