Read this cause it was recommended by Ali Abdaal, but it was just OK. A lot of it felt like general advice, a lot of it felt like common sense, some of it felt just random advice that I'm not sure would apply (e.g. “Hire your friends” is cool and all but diversity is also cool!)

Can't recommend this enough, every chapter is perfectly concise enough to get its point across in an extremely interesting and inspiring way. I love it.
The Audible version of this was great, read by Derek himself. His voice really gets in your head and I find myself starting to think of my business, such as it is, in a different way. It's all right not to want to have employees. I like that. I sucked at being a boss.
This was recommended in a YouTube video of Ali Abdaal's, one of his top three (yes, I have the other two - go look ‘em up!). I'm super glad that I found Ali's channel; following his content and his recommendations is going to help me in a big way as I navigate the setting up of a solo consulting business. Derek's book is incredibly helpful, not only because of the insight it provides, but because of the way it makes me feel. I know, sounds weird, right? But listening to Derek's words being read by Derek himself has made me feel like I got this.
Very interesting book in entrepreneurship area. Derek Sivers share his 10 years entrepreneurship journey in an hour or so. He explained how he stumbled on multimillion entrepreneurship business venture and elaborate his utopia and ideology.
