^^Driven: How to succeed in business and in life


The book is an awesome read, with lots of inspirational words from Robert Herjavec - a man who literally has more money than he could ever spend.

If you want to read a book written by a modest kajillionaire -- read this book. If you live near Toronto, Canada you might have seen the "Herjavec Group" tower on Younge St...or his $10 million dollar mansion on High Point Rd.

I watched a cribs episode about him a few months ago and was flabbergasted! His garage has at least 20 of the most exotic cars on the planet.


Check out this article about him: Star

Good call.
He seems like a good guy on TV's Dragon's Den (CDN) & Shark Tank, which matches the impression he left on local folks when he was in town earlier this year. Nice, humble guy.

Been meaning to pick up his book for quite some time, so nice to see a recommendation on this board.

Re: his cars.
I had to laugh when, on last season's Dragon's Den, he and another Dragon bought into a Canadian exotic car company, with their offer stipulating they could each buy their own car 'at cost'.

Really good book. He has a good story to tell for sure. The video on Dragons Den where they go back to his home town and stuff is good as well..

Cool. Got this as a gift a while back, but it's currently near the back of my reading queue. Thanks for the reviews guys.

I wasn't a huge fan, it got very repetitive very quickly.
