His advice has been key for Coinbase as we go through hypergrowth, from hiring executives to improving M&A."

Aaron Levie: “Elad jam packs every useful lesson about building and scaling companies in a single, digestible book.

My only gripe is that he didn’t write this when we were in the early days of Box as it would have saved my ass countless times.”

Best articulation of "resulting", drawing bad conclusions from confusing process and outcome. Recommend for people operating in the real world."

Hamilton Helmer's deeply incisive work will hopefully help correct that"

Daniel Ek: "Hamilton Helmer is the best kind of big thinker – he offers great insights that you can turn into real world action.

At Spotify the 7 Powers are widely used as we discuss new initiatives.

And how many great inventions happen at the intersection of disciplines."

Seth Godin: "This is a vitally important book. Simple, powerful and generous, it should be required reading."

Michael Mauboussin: "Annie Duke gives you the tools you need and tells you how to use them effectively. Smart and practical, _How to Decide _is the best user's guide to decision-making that you'll find."

Marc Andreessen: "'The decisions you make are like a portfolio of investments.' I believe that almost everything can be viewed as a portfolio -- whether it's a set of products a single company decides to make, the schools and jobs and skills an individual invests in, and all kinds of life decisions.

The question is, how do we make sure that portfolio as a whole advances you toward your goals -- even though any individual decision within it is a win or loss?

In this new book, Annie provides exercises for how to decide. All of us -- not just investors -- should be obsessed with making better decisions."

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "Incredible book."

Nassim Taleb: “Adapt is a highly readable, even entertaining, argument against top-down design.

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "Using excellent examples, Tim Harford explains that to make progress, you must fail often and fail productively."

It transforms how our success-obsessed society approaches their careers and long-term goals."

Kat Cole: "One of my favorite books"

Andrew Wilkinson: "One of my most recommended business books"

Sam Hinkie: "A yearning for innovation requires real exploration.

It requires a persistent search to try (and fail) to move your understanding forward with a new tool, a new technique, a new insight.

Sadly, the first innovation often isn’t even all that helpful, but may well provide a path to ones that are.

This is an idea that Steven Johnson of Where Good Ideas Come From popularized called the adjacent possible."

Sheryl Sandberg: "Michael Lewis’s ability to boil down the most complicated subjects is like a magic trick."

Included on Jamie Dimon's list of favorite books he sent to JP Morgan summer interns in 2010.

Shane Parrish: "Way more useful than I would have guessed based on the title."

Shane Parrish: "This book is an invitation to be curious, build character, and make better choices.

Very much in line with the Farnam Street ethos — so much that I’m mentioned in the acknowledgements.
