<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you have a nagging fear that your work isn’t truly important? Or that your potential greatness will wither, unrealized?</span></p>

<p> </p>

<p>Most people never feel purpose in their work. They never bring their full energy to a meaningful mission.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p> </p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Eric Jorgenson</strong> also wrote </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Almanack of Naval Ravikant</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a word-of-mouth phenomenon with millions of readers in 40+ languages.</span></p>

<p> </p>

<p>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.</p>
