Book Review: Screw it, Let's do it - Lessons in Life

This is another one of those books I picked up in an airport when I ran out of reading material while travelling. One of the key criteria I applied when choosing the book was whether or not I’d finish reading it by the time we landed. We had a bit of a delay boarding so I’d definitely finished it by the time we’d landed. It’s in the quick reads series and it is just that.

Until his airline went broke locally, and they just stiffed all the people who had pre-bought tickets, I was quite a fan of Richard Branson. There’s something about his larrikin nature that I admired. Perhaps it’s that I don’t do these things enough myself.

In the book Screw It, Let’s Just Do It - Lessons in Life, Richard describes his outlook on life and business. I really was hoping for more insights into the guy. I did mildly enjoy it and found many of the stories interesting, particularly the section on his criminal past. I was unaware of it.

It’s ok for passing an hour or two.
