Only get the audio book

This book is pretty terrible. David Rubinstein has access to some of the most brilliant financial minds of all time and chooses to ask them questions you can find on their Wikipedia.

Very generic back and forth interviews which almost always turn into a sales pitch for the interviewees firm. David will peak your interest with the subjects of his interviews and the potential of the subject matter, but you will walk away disappointed. Save yourself the money and just watch these interviews for free on YouTube.

Background street noise on audio

This is a clip show of his interviews from his Bloomberg show. There are background street noises on audio that make it difficult to listen to. There are some really great investors, and then some not so well known, particularly private wealth/family offices and endowments chapters. Clearly these chapters were added to check certain Bloomberg boxes, for example, The interviewer asks questions like, your black and chinese tell me about that? An investment doesn't care what your skin color is and nor should the interviewer.

Casual interviews with very rich people. Audio version unacceptable

The content: a collection of causal interviews with very rich people by a very, very rich person.

It’s a good example of the idea that it’s the winners who write the history: in this case, it’s the rich who get to say what made them so successful, ie rich.

The Audio verdion: many a chapter have issues with the quality of the sound and this is unacceptable. I believe that mr Rubenstein would not accept such a sloppy work from one of his collaborators.
He would have him / her do it all over, until it’s as close as perfect as possible.

Wealth of advice

Worth listening too. It is pretty long so I’d recommend 30 min to 1 hr daily

Outstanding insight to different investment roles

Fascinating to learn about the approach to investing depending on the role, asset class and/or approach to finding value.

Perfect for the market enthusiast.

Phenomenal insights. Technical and personal. A wealth of information in bit sized chunks. A great return on invested time spent listening.

Fantastic 😊

I Love Mr. Rubenstein's work and I look forward to his future works. Hopefully very soon too.

Great audio book

Thank you David Rubinstein for making this audio book. I learned of Ron Baron and Brit Harris because of this.

Highly recommend

One of my favorite audio books ever. Thank you David and all that contributed to this.
