PROS:

  • Gives simple advice on doing your own startup.
  • Provides many useful examples.
  • A focus on action.
  • Admits up front your “dream” may not be what you’ll actually end up doing.

CONS:

  • Doesn’t cover everything you’d need, and though it admits it, it’s not complete.
  • Targeted at a pretty sophisticated audience – which might not be you initially.

SUMMARY: A good book to read when you want to found your own startup, and good to give you a kick to get going.  Worth buying and rereading if you’re serious.
