Ashlee Vance

¿Qué se necesita para salvar a la raza humana? ¿Cómo perfila un emprendedor sus metas y visiones para lograr un futuro prometedor? El libro ELON MUSK (2015) nos permite entrar en la vida de este brillante (y dificil) empresario, uno de los hombres mas ricos y poderosos del mundo cuya mision es ayudar a la humanidad. ACERCA DEL LIBRO ORIGINAL:ORIGINALMENTE, la idea de este libro empezo como una simple historia acerca de Elon Musk que Ashlee Vance queria redactar para el Bloomberg Businessweek. El proyecto crecio y se transformo en la biografia completa de la deidad de Silicon Valley, un gran emprendedor sudafricano de 43 años que tras la muerte de Steve Jobs fue elegido como el reemplazo de la figura mas influyente en el ambito de la tecnologia. Tambien sobresaliente como inventor e ingeniero, Musk ha dejado su huella para siempre como uno de los mas importantes impulsores de la exploracion espacial, la innovacion en automoviles electricos y el uso de la energia solar. El libro nos adentra en los pormenores de esta historia de exito mientras que, al mismo tiempo, nos abre las puertas de la vida personal de Elon Musk.¿QUE APRENDERE?- SI SUEÑAS en grande y actuas sin temor (con tan solo una pizca de locura), te sorprenderas de como podras alcanzar todo lo que deseas.- Las metas apasionadas te encaminaran al exito. La pasion de Musk es salvar a la humanidad de la destruccion y ello ha sido el mayor impulso de su vida. - Aprenderas que el dinero no lo es todo. A Musk le disgustaba que la motivacion de la mayoria de las empresas era ganar dinero en lugar de hacer del mundo un lugar mejor.- Conoceras que los fracasos son una manera de aprender. No todo salio bien para Musk a lo largo del camino, pero su determinacion y su vehemencia fueron iguales a las de los grandes inventores y cientificos de la humanidad.

Elon Musk is the most daring entrepreneur of our timeThere are few industrialists in history who could match Elon Musk''s relentless drive and ingenious vision. A modern alloy of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs, Musk is the man behind PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and SolarCity, each of which has sent shock waves throughout American business and industry. More than any other executive today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as a science fiction fantasy.In this lively, investigative account, veteran technology journalist Ashlee Vance offers an unprecedented look into the remarkable life and times of Silicon Valley''s most audacious businessman. Written with exclusive access to Musk, his family, and his friends, the book traces his journey from his difficult upbringing in South Africa to his ascent to the pinnacle of the global business world. Vance spent more than fifty hours in conversation with Musk and interviewed close to three hundred people to tell the tumultuous stories of Musk''s world-changing companies and to paint a portrait of a complex man who has renewed American industry and sparked new levels of innovationall while making plenty of enemies along the way.In 1992, Elon Musk arrived in the United States as a ferociously driven immigrant bent on realizing his wildest dreams. Since then, Musk''s roller-coaster life has brought him grave disappointments alongside massive successes. After being forced out of PayPal, fending off a life-threatening case of malaria, and dealing with the death of his infant son, Musk abandoned Silicon Valley for Los Angeles. He spent the next few years baffling his friends by blowing his entire fortune on rocket ships and electric cars. Cut to 2012, however, and Musk had mounted one of the greatest resurrections in business history: Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity had enjoyed unparalleled success, and Musk''s net worth soared to more than $5 billion.At a time when many American companies are more interested in chasing easy money than in taking bold risks on radical new technology, Musk stands out as the only businessman with enough dynamism and vision to tackleand even revolutionizethree industries at once. Vance makes the case that Musk''s success heralds a return to the original ambition and invention that made America an economic and intellectual powerhouse. Elon Musk is a brilliant, penetrating examination of what Musk''s career means for a technology industry undergoing dramatic change and offers a taste of what could be an incredible century ahead.
