Format:Hardcover
Michael is clearly a hard driving CEO that has built an outstanding business. It is a great story and the building and history of Bloomberg is tremendous reading. The second half gets tiring fast; all entreprenuers have big egos, and his gets in the way as he dishes out advice on everything from education to family. Read the first half, skim the second.

Bloomberg by Bloomberg I enjoyed reading this book because of the way in which Michael Bloomberg describes the role that skill, personality, contacts and luck played in building his business. It was interesting to note how he does not seem all that concerned with what his competitors are doing. He focuses on what his customers want. An interesting part of the book was at the end where he describes his philanthropy and the fact that once a certain level of wealth is reached, that money should be given to charitable causes. I particularly liked the section where he attributes much of his success to putting in long hours.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Bloomberg is simply another example of an incredible man who lives his life to the fullest.
His philosphies with which he runs his businesses are well worth a read and for those keen entrepreneurs, it is an exciting journey about a life of a successful startup, that later turned into an enterprise.
To sum it all, an inspirational journey.

I love reading entrepreneurial autobiographies as they tend to make ego defining (not to mention ego defying) statements. Read more
