ISBN: 9781591843825.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy his early thirties, Paul Allen was a world-famous billionaire-and that was just the beginning.\n\nIn 2007 and 2008, Time named Paul Allen, the cofounder of Microsoft, one of the hundred most influential people in the world. Since he made his fortune, his impact has been felt in science, technology, business, medicine, sports, music, and philanthropy. His passion, curiosity, and intellectual rigor-combined with the resources to launch and support new initiatives-have literally changed the world.\n\nIn 2009 Allen discovered that he had lymphoma, lending urgency to his desire to share his story for the first time. In this long-awaited memoir, Allen explains how he has solved problems, what hes learned from his many endeavors-both the triumphs and the failures-and his compelling vision for the future. He reflects candidly on an extraordinary life.\n\nThe book also features previously untold stories about everything from the true origins of Microsoft to Allens role in the dawn of private space travel (with SpaceShipOne) and in discoveries at the frontiers of brain science. With honesty, humor, and insight, Allen tells the story of a life of ideas made real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Portfolio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983859249205,"sku":"ByrdShop_1591843820","price":27.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781591843825_972eb36a-ecec-4985-8f1f-d19927061a0a.jpg?v=1778811327","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/idea-man-a-memoir-by-the-cofounder-of-microsoft-9781591843825","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
