Adapt to change quickly.... This was a fun book.It was a lot of entreprenuer's stories, loosely organized, sort of like the "best of Updike" for businesses. Listening on Audio is how I'd recommend this one - it's inspiring, but there wasn't a "step one, step two, step three." sort of prescriptive text. I was inspired and validated. I have the right ethos to build some people around me to do things right. I always have, but I had to gain wisdom, maturity and dispel delusions before I could do it.This book is about the people that are doing it right, and I liked hearing about the lessons.{A word about my reviews: books are sacred. With few exceptions, I don't post reviews of bad books on here. I read a lot, and I just simply don't rate books I don't think are worth 3 or so stars. There are exceptions - books that are destructive to the reader will not be spared my ire}.

Boring and shallow and self-congratulatory. I learned exactly nothing.
—Hayley
Pretty good advice for any entrepreneur - especially a TechStars one.
