About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Four by Scott Galloway, read by Jonathan Todd Ross.

For all that's been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway.

Instead of buying the myths these companies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions. How did the Four infiltrate our lives so completely that they're almost impossible to avoid (or boycott)? Why does the stock market forgive them for sins that would destroy other firms? And as they race to become the world's first trillion-dollar company, can anyone challenge them?

In the same irreverent style that has made him one of the world's most celebrated business professors, Galloway deconstructs the strategies of the Four that lurk beneath their shiny veneers. He shows how they manipulate the fundamental emotional needs that have driven us since our ancestors lived in caves, at a speed and scope others can't match. And he reveals how you can apply the lessons of their ascent to your own business or career.

Whether you want to compete with them, do business with them, or simply live in the world they dominate, you need to understand the Four.

A Practical Map into the Glitzy Era of the Four!

The book starts and ends with the catch-line apt for the era of the Fantastic, Fiesty & Famous Four: Now, it is easier to be billionaires and harder to be millionaires. Scott Galloway shares his personal journey with very interesting and critical insights to which he is privy to. He also illustrates how is easier to be billionaires for very lucky but very very very few and harder for the less lucky few millionaires. Most of us still have to struggle extremely hard to make hundreds of thousands! It's a practical roadmap traversed by him.

An interesting recipe for corporate/entrepreneurial success

What initially seemed like an iconoclastic take on corporate giants of modern era (it goes beyond the story of just 4)..very soon proved to be one of the most holistic studies of DNA of success in technology era.

It leaves you with a great recipe of "entrepreneurial/ corporate success of global scale", served well with pun and punches. Although I initially thought the book may be slightly dated, but in the end it rather proved to be ageless.

Easily, one of the better books, which is bound to tingle entrepreneurial nerve and strengthen executive vision in its reader/listeners, presented in an interestingly provocative way.

good book to understand forces around the four

good book to understand forces around the four. Starts well with chapters on the four, but later when it gets preachy for students and professionals
, unbearable then.
