Another great read/listen: "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future" (FREE download for first time Audible Customers).

in #steemit7 years ago

This is my third day on Steemit, and I have really been enjoying my time in this community so far!

As a big fan of Elon Musk and his unrelenting ambition when it comes to shattering the limitations of our technologies and humankind in general. Being born in South Africa, he has been living a truly remarkable life and exhibiting his extraordinary talent from a young age onward.

Of course, we all know him nowadays as the mastermind behind such successful ventures as PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX, but there is a lot more to his story that is not all know to the general public. As such an inspiration to me, I really enjoyed reading the Audible book on him titled "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future", written by Ashlee Vance and narrated by Fred Sanders.

If you want to learn more about this fascinating man and his path toward becoming the real-life version of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr. really did visit with Elon Musk in preparation for his role), I highly recommend that you check out this book. Best of all, I can gift you the Audiobook for free if you do not have an Audible account already. Talk about the Sharing Economy!

I love audiobooks because they allow me to "read" while cooking, working out, or being stuck in LA traffic (which is a lot).

For those of you who do not have access to the Audible US store, I may have found a workaround too. My apologies if this does not work, but it could be worth the shot! See my other post on how to set up an Audible US store account while living abroad.

Just as a disclaimer, I will not benefit from this promotion, other than your kindly upvotes!

If you enjoyed this book, please consider supporting the author and looking into more of his bibliography.

Please let me know if the comments if you have read the book and what you thought about it. I'd also be happy to answer any questions and keep the conversation going.
Be sure to check out my other posts too, as I plan to discuss more of my favorites (audio)books on Steemit!

Keep on sharing,

Jeff
