I’ve actually reached out via IG to several of the people in this book most of whom are just plain awesome.

Scott is a genius at explaining the concepts that exist in the no man's land between starting and being excited about starting a startup and those celebrated exits or huge valuations that you see in the press and on twitter feeds.

Love that Mike doesn’t make it so that being able to achieve a purpose Definitely a must read for those who want to lead an organisation with purpose.
Love that Mike doesn’t make it so that being able to achieve a purpose has to mean not-for-profit.
This book is the perfect combination of why you should grow with purpose, how to interrogate your purpose and what to do next once you’ve found it.

Scarily boring narrative with interesting side bar of references.
That's the best way to describe it. The reference reading and material from this listScarily boring narrative with interesting side bar of references.
That's the best way to describe it. The reference reading and material from this list is definitely something of value as is some of the methodology espoused. That being said it could have been a 20 page case study from HBR rather than a 200 page story.

He has some fantastic points about start-ups, working environments for new and small businesses and a strong level of conviction for his methodology and beliefs which is nice to read.
That being said, he's self indulgent in parts of this book - perhaps his choice as a self-made billionaire (I don't know) - and more importantly he spends a lot of time focusing on all the great achievements of his inner circle. There is in fact life beyond silicon valley.
