Richard Branson is the founder of the Virgin Group, which was responsible for Virgin Records, Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Mobile, and many other enterprises. Losing My Virginity is his story. The reading is not as engaging as some expert authors can make it, but the story behind the words is inspirational. His business philosophy basically amounts to seeking fun. He doesn't come off as "ruthless" at all and yet he still achieved so much success. One interesting part is the description of British Airways "dirty tricks" campaign against Branson. Also, the way that he stubbornly bootstrapped a magazine as a high school student and evolved it into a record business is fascinating.
