[An] extremely interesting and informative read * Bookbag.co.uk *
Rather than containing the usual tranch of aphorisms and advice on how to create lists of things you want to achieve, The Start-up Of You suggests arranging your career like a business … We challenge you not to be inspired * PA Life *
It is the optimism of Silicon Valley that infuses this book: there is still hope for those striving to break into the charmed circle -- Richard Waters * Financial Times *
Being an entrepreneur isn't really about starting a business. It's a way of looking at the world: seeing opportunity where others see obstacles, taking risks when others take refuge. Whatever career you're in or want to be in The Start-Up of You holds lessons for success. -- Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg, L.P. and Mayor, New York City
