I Read Elon Musk’s 69 Rules for Success | The Book of Elon Book Review

I read The Book of Elon by Eric Jorgenson, a collection of Elon Musk’s most useful ideas on purpose, engineering, business, hiring, intensity and problem-solving, presented largely through Musk’s own words.Rather than another Elon Musk biography, this book attempts to distil his operating system: how he thinks, why he works with such extreme intensity and which principles have shaped companies including Tesla and SpaceX.But does it offer anything genuinely new?00:00 What is The Book of Elon?00:28 How I received the book01:03 This is not an Elon Musk biography01:48 Three million words distilled02:24 More than 1,000 source references03:10 The 69 Core Musk Methods03:35 How the book is designed03:56 My background with Elon Musk04:42 Why so much of it felt familiar05:45 Is it useful as a reference book?06:35 Why I probably wouldn’t reread it07:19 Who should read this book?07:55 Elon’s “ultra hardcore” philosophy08:24 Success because of—or despite—his methods?08:43 My biggest criticism of the book09:49 The reader who may find it transformative10:26 My final recommendation10:58 Elon Musk’s recommended reading list12:01 Final verdictConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/Xs9DjsurFqTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast
