The latest book by STEVEN BARTLETT: entrepreneur, podcaster and Dragon's Den star

This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons.

This is a book about something much more permanent.

At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.

These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.

They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.

These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?

With highlights of original interviews from The Diary of a CEO podcast, this enhanced audiobook edition of The Diary of a CEO takes you to the heart of the 33 laws for success.

One of the best and I was deeply cynical.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. All the learnings are based in the real world and with strong back up stories. There are also powerful golden nuggets, such as Steve revealing how he got people to subscribe to his podcasts by just changing the story, I was one of those people happy to follow on the basis of how I was asked. It all makes perfect sense to me. These are subtle incremental details but with massive proven success. There are also big lessons for existing leaders who think they know it all. Steven walks the talk, you can tell he learns through his own experiences and is not afraid to admit mistakes or failings to expose and share the eventual pearl of wisdom. This is very endearing and honest. I can't help but admire and respect him for it, although I wanted to scoff "Peter Jones style" at this 30 something telling me that I could do better. As someone who has attended a top business school (Harvard!) I still learn't plenty. I bet his fellow dragons would too. I can tell you that this is stuff you need to know and think about, that they don't teach it to you at business school and you can easily miss it, even if you are vaguely successful. Quite frankly the thinking within this book should be core syllabus for business school but it isn't. If Branson can't tell the difference between gross and net profit (it's in here) then there is clearly a massively important amount of "business" that simply cannot be put into a spreadsheet. I have a feeling there are many more "laws" to come too and I can't wait.

A 1000km drive made so much better.

1000km drive from the South of France with an overnight stop in Troyes (I wonder if that can be said in 5-seconds 🤓 - if you know, you’ll know).

With so much driving ahead of me I decided to have a look at what to use my monthly token on and I have to say I’m so glad to have downloaded this.

Biggest takeaways for me are both the 5-buckets and the autopsy of a plan to find it’s weaknesses in advance of its implementation.

Get to the end and you’ll hear the Easter egg!

Must read for all leaders

Will be listening to this again. Every law made perfect sense & taught me something.
I loved laws 30, 31 & 32 so much so that I want everyone I work with to read these laws and act on them.
All leaders should read this book. All wanna be leaders need this book.

Really good audiobook and book

Steven is very successful and seems like a lovely fella. It was interesting to listen to his advice, especially since the audiobook was read by him. I’ve since bought his book as well for both me and my daughter (20 years). I do a lot of reading and wanted to see what books he’d been influenced by, as he’s very well read. Also, the book will allow me to highlight key ideas for easy future reference. Recommended.

Incredible

Such a great book. Really well read by a knowledgable CEO.

He has a way of saying things that are to the point and simple and more importantly easily applicable to your own leadership journey

Audio mastery

Brilliant, fun, insightful and meaningful! it has everything you want in order to be engulfed into a book/audio book! A must read (listen) for 2023! Steven is a forever present figure in audio at the moment with his work and this audio version of his new book is another staircase into his mastery of audio learning. Highly recommend and I will be ordering the hard copy too!

Enjoyable

Lots of valuable insights in this book and I listened to it quickly, only perhaps one or two points I didn’t entirely agree with when applying to my own profession.
