This book offers important advice for envisioning change in our lives--from contemplating the next step in a relationship to making a radical career move--and managing changes to which we've already committed. We can learn to recognize our own well-worn patterns and keep our tendencies and habits in check, recruit a personal taskforce--our own board of directors--to advise us, and plan ahead for growth. With his extensive database of entrepreneurship case studies--from Pandora to Twitter to Nike--complemented with data on 20,000 founders, Wasserman is able to go deeply into the entrepreneurial mindset and show us how startups provide specific lessons for crafting our most successful lives.
