The Book of Elon: A Guide to Purpose and Success | Elon Musk’s Most Useful Ideas, in His Own Words

Do you have a nagging fear that your work isn't truly important? Or that your potential greatness will wither, unrealized? Most people never feel purpose in their work. They never bring their full energy to a meaningful mission. Purpose and intensity are Elon Musk's superpowers. He chooses colossal missions. Then he is maniacal, creative, and relentless in pursuit of success. It's not charm, luck, or genius that made him the wealthiest person on Earth. It's his mindset. Musk's mindset is laid out clearly in this book, the result of five years of work, distilling millions of words into an easy read. Eric Jorgenson also wrote The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, a word-of-mouth phenomenon with millions of readers in 40+ languages. This isn't a biography or a cheesy self-help book. Instead, through Musk's own words, you will feel personally mentored to lead a rich life full of purpose, passion, and prosperity.

Eric Jorgenson curates the most useful ideas from our greatest thinkers and doers—and preserves them in our most permanent format: books.

He’s the author of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant (2M+ copies sold) and The Anthology of Balaji. He’s CEO of Scribe Media, where authors retain full financial and creative control of their books.

Eric lives in Kansas City with his wife and son in a house that’s slowly becoming a library. He invests in obsessive geniuses building utopian technology.

"The only book an entrepreneur needs."

--Naval Ravikant, Co-founder of AngelList.

"You may not agree with everything he says, but at the end of the day Elon is going to take us to Mars, give people anywhere on Earth high-speed internet, allow people to walk again, and a ton of other things that we would have once thought impossible. So it'd be foolish to think there is nothing you can learn from him."

"This book is a rich collection of Elon's most useful ideas."

--David Senra, host of Founders podcast.

"Sometimes I say things so profound people think they're stupid. And sometimes I say things so stupid people think they're profound."
