Review: Not only a fun to read autobiography, a good insight into a different way of thinking in business - In this book Branson tells you his life story, talks you through this thought processes and tells you how Virgin did/do business. There are a lot of hilarious moments, serious moments, deep thought and innovative business thinking. Its an easy read - Branson communicates effortlessly, and despite being 500 pages it doesn't feel like it takes long to get through. You can almost imagine Branson himself narrating! There is quite a lot of talk about Virgin and how they built as a company, a lot more about the ins and outs than you'll find on the web. It provides a good insight to start a business and the sort of challenges you may face, arguments with bankers abound and a 'new startup' culture is prominent. Bransons bouncy abrasive attitude comes through strong, including his joy at shaking up established 2/3 player markets. It's good inspiration for anyone wanting to challenge their thought processes. A great example is where rather than trying to get credit for TV screens in the back of 747 seats Branson realises it might be easier to get a credit line for 18 new jets! (which is what happens!) This sort of enterprising thinking abounds. The one negative I found, and which felt a bit off about the book, is you do get a feeling there are things which aren't talked about. There are only a few mentions of serious conflicts within the Virgin group, there are only a few short mentions of when things completely failed (like Virgin Cola; the telling of the Virgin Cola tale here starts and ends with it being a successful startup, not the years when it fails). I feel this is a lost opportunity as great depth and insight is given to so many other things. There is also an element to which you wonder how much the prose 'sticks to the story' - there are a few places where a phrase placing the blame on another company is repeated; it's not to say the blame wasn't on the other company, it just feels the point is being worked a bit hard. All in all though really good book, really good fun, smacks with personality, it comes across exactly like you'd imagine a chilled conversatoin with the man would be! Review: Enjoyable - An interesting account of a young mans life who was not born into an “ordinary” family. The rise in fortunes from a sixteen year old lad starting a magazine to his present entrepreneur status is quite unbelievable. We mere mortals would never take the risks he does! The earlier account of how he acquired more diverse businesses is fascinating....and I enjoyed his exploits taking on world records on the seas and in the air (a rich mans indulgence?)....and his story certainly makes the world a smaller place. However it tends to get bogged down in politics and “being a do-gooder” to save the world during the latter chapters. Although he may mean well his ambitions to change the direction of political and to save the world seems more of a hobby which only the obscenely wealthy can indulge in. Nevertheless an enjoyable read. ## Features - Language Published: English - Binding: Paper Back - Easy to read text ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 17,681 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 13 in Venture Capital 23 in Business Biographies & Memoirs (Books) 63 in Starting a Business | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,625 Reviews | ## Images ![Losing My Virginity: The Autobiography - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C+gnu1iML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not only a fun to read autobiography, a good insight into a different way of thinking in business *by K***R on 28 August 2015* In this book Branson tells you his life story, talks you through this thought processes and tells you how Virgin did/do business.

The rise in fortunes from a sixteen year old lad starting a magazine to his present entrepreneur status is quite unbelievable. We mere mortals would never take the risks he does! The earlier account of how he acquired more diverse businesses is fascinating....and I enjoyed his exploits taking on world records on the seas and in the air (a rich mans indulgence?)....and his story certainly makes the world a smaller place. However it tends to get bogged down in politics and “being a do-gooder” to save the world during the latter chapters. Although he may mean well his ambitions to change the direction of political and to save the world seems more of a hobby which only the obscenely wealthy can indulge in. Nevertheless an enjoyable read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A THRILLING READ, FROM A REMARKABLE MAN *by J***Y on 20 December 2012* Mr Branson is a remarkable character, that goes without saying, but reading his book really does bring it home. I have read many business books and autobiographies of other entrepreneurs (phew, did I spell it right!?), but nothing compares to this one. The book is riveting from page one and you will find yourself unable to put it down. From personal anecdotes and stories, business escapades, and adventurous journeys...this book really packs a punch. Many people have some less than complimentary things to say about Richard, but I couldn't disagree more. This is a kind and generous, philanthropic man who has gone to the ends of the Earth to help others (literally). He is a man seemingly unchanged by the trappings of major wealth, feet firmly planted on the ground. He has achieved great success from humble beginnings, and I for one say good for you Richard! As a business owner myself, I found great inspiration in this book. It is littered with gentle reminders that business doesn't have to be all 3 piece suits and board meetings, we are supposed to enjoy the bloody thing! AVOID THIS BOOK AT YOUR PERIL! P.S. Regarding Virgins near miss with the West Coast train line, this was yet another oafish decision made by an incompetent government, a government completely ignorant of any commercial sense. When will they start to look more towards business people to confide in for political advice, when its clear thats what the country needs! (And I do not mean Sir Alan Sugar, who has clearly exceeded the size of his little size 5's or whatever they are!) ## Frequently Bought Together - Losing My Virginity: The Autobiography - Finding My Virginity: The New Autobiography - Screw It, Let's Do It: Lessons In Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/48301153-losing-my-virginity-the-autobiography](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/48301153-losing-my-virginity-the-autobiography) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
