Richard Branson Knihy

O svetoznámom podnikateľovi Richardovi Bransonovi sa písalo a stále píše veľa. Len máloktorá kniha však opisuje jeho súkromný život či budovanie skupiny Virgin tak detailne ako životopis, ktorý napísal on sám. Podrobne a s typickým nadhľadom v ňom opisuje svoje detstvo, dospievanie a podnikateľské nápady, z ktorých sa väčšinou (aj keď nie vždy) stali uznávané firmy. Pri čítaní tejto knihy sa dozviete, ako sa aj z priemerného študenta strednej školy môže stať úspešný svetový podnikateľ, ktorého rešpektujú vlastní zamestnanci, svetoví politici či iní známi podnikatelia. Bransonova autobiografia však nie je knižka o luxuse úspešného magnáta, ktorý sa pozná s medzinárodnou elitou. Podáva skôr svedectvo o tom, že život svetového podnikateľa je aj o tvrdej drine, intrigách, mediálnych prestrelkách, neustálej ostražitosti, naťahovačkách s úradmi, politikmi či bankármi a o súdnych sporoch. Richard Branson sa navyše čitateľovi tejto knihy zdôveruje nielen so svojimi podnikateľskými skúsenosťami, ale aj so skúsenosťami v oblasti svojich súkromných vzťahov...

Weaving together lessons and original stories from the world's top contributors to human rights and social involvement, this book leaders readers to a greater understanding of how we grow and develop as human beings by helping others. Cutting-edge research on the nature of personal and social change illuminates the Me to we philosophy. We can all build a better life - and an ideal world - by reaching out to others. Me to We is a manifesto and a manual. It includes tales to inspire, studies and statistics to persuade, and practical advice to motivate and guide. Craig and Marc Kielburger have written from their own experiences as advocates and global social leaders, as have supporters suc as Oprah Winfrey, Richard Gere, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Dr. Jane Goodall. These dynamic stories teach us how to live our lives as socially conscious and responsible people, engage in daily acts of kindness, building meaningful relationships through community, and focus on the impact of "we" decision making. Both modern in its fresh way of looking at the world and traditional in its return to the simplest, purest, and most basic impulse of humanity, Me to We represents a vibrant shift, a remaking from the inside out, and a new definition of success, happiness, and community. --Back cover
