Agreed. One of my new favorites. The audiobook is read by Zell which I enjoyed.

Just finished it. 

 

An easy-to-read story about a a guy who made billions and had fun doing it.  Some great life advice included.

I loved how through the entire book I was thinking: This guy probably did some unethical stuff, and then at the end of the book he's like "i did nothing unethical"

 

:D

Pretty good, a good bit of ego stroking as well but if you can look past that it's a quality read.

Thanks for suggesting this one Packer.  I really enjoyed it and learned a lot more about Mr. Zell.  What a character.

Some thought provoking lessons. I enjoyed the book except the persistent tendency to self gloat.

 

His character reminded me of Bill Paley (founder of CBS). Very little credit is given to his subordinates.
