    I had to quit listening. It seemed like all this book did was mention the names of billionaires. It might be the ideal book for people who are similar to that. It's not my thing... a waste of a good credit.

    I don't get why everyone's raving about this book, man. Seriously, I can't believe I wasted a solid 10 hours listening to it before I just couldn't take it anymore. It's like a snooze-fest of Branson's business successes sprinkled with some personal drama. Trust me, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Total time sucker, dude.

    It's a bit of a marathon with its 17-hour duration, but there are definitely some valuable lessons and business tips to be found in "Finding My Virginity: The New Autobiography." However, if you're not a die-hard Branson fan, you might want to consider exploring a different audiobook.

    I gotta say, I have a lot of respect for Richard Branson, dude's a legend. But man, I gotta be honest, "Finding My Virginity: The New Autobiography" left me feeling a bit let down. It felt more like a massive advertisement for Branson and his numerous companies rather than a book that could offer valuable lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs. I was hoping for some real knowledge bombs, you know? Instead, it was just mildly entertaining at best.

    I got the impression that the book had a recurring theme that kept resurfacing. Additionally, I found it to be somewhat superficial in comparison to other autobiographies I've come across. However, the reading performance was impressive.

    When I first picked up this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. All I knew was that Richard Branson founded Virgin Records and owned an island. However, after hearing several mentors rave about it, I decided to give it a shot. And let me tell you, the wisdom in this book is not immediately apparent. Branson has a knack for sharing his life events and the reasoning behind each decision, which is where the true wisdom lies. He doesn't spoon-feed you lessons to make you better, but rather opens up his world and shares his motivations as the man behind the choices that have shaped our society and culture. It was eye-opening for me to discover that Branson, who I had always perceived as a party boy due to his marketing antics, is actually quite family-oriented. His life revolves around spending as much time as possible with his loved ones. Furthermore, I was surprised to learn about his passion for enhancing the human experience. Now that it's been explained, I can see it clearly. Branson is no longer just the party boy in my mind; he's a man who fearlessly stays true to himself and isn't afraid to take risks. I genuinely believe that his intentions are good.

    I've always been a big fan of Branson, he's like a business role model to me. I really liked listening to the stories behind his numerous ventures. However, I reached a point where I became really fed up with his criticism of America and American politics, so I made the decision to turn it off and remove it from my library.

    1. This book presents a collection of captivating anecdotes illustrating how the remarkable Richard Branson overcomes obstacles in his life, leveraging his wealth and connections. It's not particularly challenging when you have billions or millions at your disposal. 2. If you don't have billions or millions stashed away, you won't find much value in this book. Branson implies that anyone, even someone who may not be well-liked, can navigate any dire situation and hire the best professionals with unlimited resources. 3. Unfortunately, Branson inserts his political opinions, unrelated to the rest of the stories, to criticize the current president. It almost feels like he's trying to impose his views on unsuspecting listeners. 4. The narrator's voice is quite dreadful, lacking strength and impact. 5. The storyline feels disjointed, lacking coherence and jumping from one topic to another. 6. Branson has become one of those individuals who is so wealthy that they can no longer connect with the everyday struggles of regular people on this planet. When you have billions in the bank, you can attempt anything from space exploration to launching high-speed trains. Failure becomes inconsequential when you can escape from a catastrophe in a brand-new G6. 7. Instead of "Finding My Virginity," I recommend checking out "Lucky or Smart" by Bo Peabody.

    I really appreciate how Richard managed to bring everything together in this autobiography. It's a remarkable achievement that definitely deserves recognition. However, there might be a slight excess of personal focus in the narrative. Additionally, Richard mentions the importance of avoiding political associations in business, but it becomes evident throughout the story that they actually have a significant role. All in all, it's a fantastic read.

    Richard Branson is one hell of a passionate dude, and it's hard to argue with the core principles he spills in this epic book. I'm definitely going to give this bad boy a few listens, and I really hope it sparks the same fire in others that it did in me. Branson's bold and audacious efforts to shake things up and make the world a better place are seriously inspiring.
