  Phil Knight

   

  • Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Memoir & Autobiography (2016)

   

  “A refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Here Knight opens up in a way few CEOs are willing to do. I don’t think Knight sets out to teach the reader anything. Instead, he accomplishes something better. He tells his story as honestly as he can. It’s an amazing tale.”—Bill Gates, one of his favorite books of 2016

   

  “The best book I read last year. Phil is . . . a gifted storyteller.”—Warren Buffett

   

  “A touching, highly entertaining adventure odyssey, with much to teach about innovation and creativity. Phil Knight takes us back to the Big Bang of the swoosh, recalls how he first begged and borrowed from reluctant banks, how he assembled a crew of eccentric but brilliant misfits, how they all worked together to build something unique and paradigm-changing. An inspiration for everyone with an unconventional dream.”—Michael Spence, Nobel-prize winning economist

   

  “An extraordinary memoir… one of the best stories of entrepreneurship I have ever read.”—Fareed Zakaria

  Ray Kroc

   

  “Columbus discovered America, Jefferson invented it, and Ray Kroc Big Mac’d it.” ―Tom Robbins, Esquire magazine

   

  “He was past fifty before he ever thought of getting into the fast food business. Within a decade he was a millionaire, and his odyssey is a classic success story!” ―Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin

   

  Few entrepreneurs can claim to have actually changed the way we live, but Ray Kroc is one of them. His revolutions in food service automation, franchising, shared national training and advertising have earned him a place beside the men who founded not merely businesses but entire new industries.

   

  But even more interesting than Ray Kroc the business legend is Ray Kroc the man. Not your typical self-made tycoon, Kroc was 52 when he met the McDonald brothers and opened his first franchise.

   

  Now meet Ray Kroc, the man behind the business legend, in his own words. Irrepressible enthusiast, perceptive people-watcher, and born storyteller, he will fascinate and inspire you. You’ll never forget Ray Kroc.

  Ashlee Vance

   

  • Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Nominee for Longlist (2015)
  • Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Science & Technology (2015)
  • New York Times and International Bestseller 

  • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Wall Street Journal, NPR, Audible and Amazon

  Ashlee Vance’s stellar biography captures Musk’s remarkable life story and irrepressible spirit ― Richard Branson

   

   

  “Mr. Vance tells the stories of both SpaceX and Tesla with intricacy and insight. . . . What does come through is a sense of legitimate wonder at what humans can accomplish when they aim high, and aim weird”. — Dwight Garner, New York Times

   

   

  “[T]his work will likely serve as the definitive account of a man whom so far we’ve seen mostly through caricature. By the final pages, too, any reader will sense the need to put comparisons to Steve Jobs aside. Give Musk credit. There is no one like him.” — New York Times Book Review

   

   

  “[A] spirited and riveting biography.” — Wall Street Journal

   

   

  “The SpaceX and Tesla founder certainly sees setbacks as an unavoidable part of innovation. But a brilliant new biography paints a picture of him as an obsessive, intolerant perfectionist.” — Financial Times

   

   

  “Fascinating and superbly researched…” — The Guardian UK
