3 Life Changing books recommended by Elon Musk

3 LIFE-CHANGING BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY ELON MUSK

The CEO of SpaceX and the founder and CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk claimed the title of the world's richest man last week Thursday after his net worth rose beyond $185bn.

According to him, books are vital elements that helped shape his life's ambition.

Having read the whole encyclopedia at age 9, it is said that even at that age, he would pore through the pages of science fiction novels for over 10 hours a day.

Over the years, Musk has consistently recommended books during interviews and on his Twitter page. Here are the top 3 books Musk thinks everyone should read once in their entire lifetime.

1) Life 3.0: Being human at the age of artificial intelligence by Max Tegmark.

In a quote, Elon Musk said, “This is a compelling guide to the challenges and choices to our quest for a great future of life, intelligence and consciousness - On earth and beyond." 

Life 3.0 is a book written in an accessible and engaging way that demystifies artificial intelligence, neural networks, and machine learning.

It explains the likely dilemmas when science becomes politics and scientific ignorance becomes a pathway to political disaster.

2) An American life by Benjamin Franklin:-

When asked about the author of this book in an interview, Musk said, “I would say certainly,  he is one of the people I most admire."

This book by Benjamin Franklin, is a biography that mirrors the life choices, struggles, and decisions of One of America's greatest. 

3) Screw business as usual By Richard Branson:-

 In a tweet he made in Dec 2011, he tweeted, “ I like screw business as usual a lot. This approach should be taken to heart by all as it is a great move."

Richard Branson, One of America's greatest leaders argues that it is time to turn capitalism from a mere profit-making venture into a venture that takes into consideration the consumers involved. It is a call for change in values.

 Like me, if you love to ask questions, you might be asking the following questions:

•What difference will these books make in my Life:-

No book will make any change in your life if you are not set to change yourself. The books will only enlighten and change your mindset and perspective towards related topics but, it is not the major ingredient required to cause a change in your life. Read, apply, and work. Then watch yourself set standards and goals you want to achieve just like Elon Musk. 

•The books are not an issue but making myself read is a problem. How can I make myself read more?
