Branson attempted to stay several days on an air balloon, as usual with Branson’s first attempt at anything, everything goes haywire to the degree where the air balloon was losing air at the rate where the balloon would crash and he would be killed. Despite the danger, he survived, however, he landed in a region that was under war and confusion leading to further issues. Branson’s love for doing the impossible is demonstrated throughout all his work, even if that meant going to prison and dropping out of high school. Richard Branson’s love and craziness for his Virgin companies allow him to achieve unimaginable success. The autobiography, Richard Branson: Losing My Virginity, describes many stages of Branson’s life from his birth in 1950 to the year the book was published in 2007. Coming from a family who is committed to each other and seeks out the craziest dreams, Branson perseveres through physical injuries and his dyslexia, which caused him long struggles with his schoolwork. Whether it was through luck or honed cleverness, Branson’s ability to negotiate deals with recording artists and record companies led to the signing of bands he desired. Whether it is through adventuring, partying, or working, Branson makes certain that everyone around him is enjoying the work as much as himself. His love for the music industry and his ability to prepare, start, and take advantage of current and future trends allowed him to become a billionaire and found new Virgin companies including Virgin Galactic and Virgin Trains. Branson loves being happy; he loves doing business. He loves to take advantage of any opportunities or advantages in business deals, record deals, promotion of products, or producing a new idea. I give the book a 5/5 for creating an enticing hook and explaining his fun and crazy path to success.
