Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping our Future

New York Times and International Bestseller

Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Wall Street Journal, NPR, Audible and Amazon

More than 1 Million Copies Sold

In Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, veteran technology journalist Ashlee Vance provides the first inside look into the extraordinary life and times of Silicon Valley's most audacious entrepreneur. Written with exclusive access to Musk, his family and friends, the book traces the entrepreneur's journey from a rough upbringing in South Africa to the pinnacle of the global business world. Vance spent more than 30 hours in conversation with Musk and interviewed close to 300 people to tell the tumultuous stories of Musk's world-changing companies: PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX and SolarCity, and to characterize a man who has renewed American industry and sparked new levels of innovation while making plenty of enemies along the way.

Vance uses Musk's story to explore one of the pressing questions of our time: can the nation of inventors and creators which led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk--one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history--is a contemporary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy.

The Perfection Trap: The Power of Good Enough In a World That Always Wants More

A groundbreaking and honest examination of the recent rise in perfectionism, which asks how we got here, how we can cope and, ultimately, how we might get out.

In an age of optimisation and efficiency, where our productivity is valued above all else, the quest for limitless perfectionism has many subscribers.

Perfectionism in young people has been increasing at an alarming rate. In 1989, just nine percent of young people reported levels of socially prescribed perfectionism, by 2017, this doubled to eighteen. By 2050, this percentage is projected to reach a sobering thirty-three percent.

Against this backdrop of rising perfectionism, we are seeing more mental illness that ever before. Emerging from the rubble is a whole generation who appear to have it all, but in reality are struggling under the weight of their relentless work ethics.

Let Go is an attempt to make sense of these remarkable times, offering much-needed answers, as well as practical tools to finally let go of perfectionism for good. Its message is radical and simple - asking us to view our afflictions not as personal defects, as society has taught, but rather as defects of something much broader- the dominant cultural frames of a world demanding uncompromising perfection.

Grounded in over a decade of research, this timely and crucial book will dramatically change the way we see perfectionists - and crucially, how perfectionists see themselves.

Mind And Matter: A Life In Math And Football

A New York Times bestseller

John Urschel, mathematician and former offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, tells the story of a life balanced between two passions

For John Urschel, what began as an insatiable appetite for puzzles as a child developed into mastery of the elegant systems and rules of mathematics. By the time he was thirteen, Urschel was auditing a college-level calculus course. But when he joined his high school football team, a new interest began to eclipse the thrill he felt in the classroom. Football challenged Urschel in an entirely different way, and he became addicted to the physical contact of the sport. After he accepted a scholarship to play at Penn State, his love of math was rekindled. As a Nittany Lion, he refused to sacrifice one passion for the other. Against the odds, Urschel found a way to manage his double life as a scholar and an athlete. While he was an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, he simultaneously pursued his PhD in mathematics at MIT.

Weaving together two separate narratives, Urschel relives for us the most pivotal moments of his bifurcated life. He explains why, after Penn State was sanctioned for the acts of former coach Jerry Sandusky, he declined offers from prestigious universities and refused to abandon his team. He describes his parents' different influences and their profound effect on him, and he opens up about the correlation between football and CTE and the risks he took for the game he loves. Equally at home discussing Georg Cantor's work on infinities and Bill Belichick's playbook, Urschel reveals how each challenge--whether on the field or in the classroom--has brought him closer to understanding the two different halves of his own life, and how reason and emotion, the mind and the body, are always working together. "So often, people want to divide the world into two," he observes. "Matter and energy. Wave and particle. Athlete and mathematician. Why can't something (or someone) be both?"
