Even though I admire Richard Branson very much, after reading this book I admire this person even more. Great man who changes the world and great book that can change your mindset and attitude towards the world. Richard is one of my teachers (through the books), and he really makes a big difference in my mind when reading all the experience this great man can provide me with. I believe, he can be a leader for many of you too!

Have you ever noticed how one person manages to handle whole group of people? And it's done not by force, the crowd does it voluntarily. Do you know Alexander the Great? Adolph Hitler? George Washington? Any religion? What do they have in common? Just turn on TV, if you have one, and you will see how one person is usually leading a big group of people in any kind of actions. It's done not coincidentally, it's psychology and even a crowd has its own psychology.
