- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Impressive advice to startups, founders, investors, mentors. If it doesn’t give you a full response sometimes, it for sure put you in the right direction
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It’s a good book, but I dislike the narration style. Ultimately, I decided to read it instead of listening.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you are looking at a single source of current thinking on entrepreneurship this is a reasonable place to start. The book has bite-size pieces arranged in helpful groups that make it easy to digest. However, talking too many bites at once can reduce enjoyment. There are many books on entrepreneurship, this is one of the better ones.
