7.8 (10 个评分) 作者: Ben Horowitz HarperBusiness 2014 - 3
Ben Horowitz, cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz and one of Silicon Valley's most respected and experienced entrepreneurs, offers essential advice on building and running a startup—practical wisdom for managing the toughest problems business school doesn’t cover, based on his popular ben’s blog.
While many people talk about how great it is to start a business, very few are honest about how difficult it is to run one. Ben Horowitz analyzes the problems that confront leaders every day, sharing the insights he’s gained developing, managing, selling, buying, investing in, and supervising technology companies. A lifelong rap fanatic, he amplifies business lessons with lyrics from his favorite songs, telling it straight about everything from firing friends to poaching competitors, cultivating and sustaining a CEO mentality to knowing the right time to cash in.
Filled with his trademark humor and straight talk, The Hard Thing About Hard Things is invaluable for veteran entrepreneurs as well as those aspiring to their own new ventures, drawing from Horowitz's personal and often humbling experiences.

Zero to One:Notes on Startups,or How to Build the Future
作者: Peter Thiel / Blake Masters 译者: 季晶晶 天下雜誌出版社 2014 - 10
複製別人的模式比創新事物容易。
做大家都知道怎麼做的事、提供更多熟悉的東西,這是由1到n。
不過如果只複製前人的路,就無法學習到他們的精髓。
創新是由0到1。創新獨一無二,創新的時機與開創出的結果也是新鮮奇特的。
這本書講的就是創新的秘密。
這不只是一本商業書,它將帶領你穿越歷史,從哲學、經濟、商業等多元角度,解讀世界的發展脈絡,進一步分析彼得‧提爾創業的心法與思考的角度,期盼帶給讀者超越學術限制、了解更多現實世界運轉的邏輯與經驗分享,幫助你思考從0到1的秘密,從秘密中發掘機會。
彼得‧提爾(Peter Thiel)是PayPal和Palantir共同創辦人,臉書第一位外部投資人,率先注資Yelp、LinkedIn、SpaceX、Spotify、Airbnb等新創企業。他念哲學與法律,卻在科技、創投世界大放異彩;成立提爾獎學金,鼓勵年輕人休學創業,激發自己的潛力。
提爾獨特的邏輯與眼光,帶你在意想不到之處發現價值。
這不是一般的商業書。看了這本書,你會學到:
‧「精實創業」(lean startup)錯在哪裡;
‧莎士比亞和馬克思如何預言衝突;
‧「非理性繁榮」(irrational exuberance)在什麼時候是理性的;
‧機器為什麼是人類的朋友,而不是敵人;
‧托爾斯泰給新創事業什麼啟示;
‧嬉皮式的思考與恐怖分子有什麼類似之處;
‧美國人為什麼誤解中國;
‧特斯拉如何吸引李奧納多‧狄卡皮歐;
‧比爾蓋茲為何從科技業退休;
‧「破壞」(disruption)有什麼問題;
‧嬰兒潮世代給我們什麼錯覺;
‧哪些話我們以為是愛因斯坦說的,其實不是;
‧矽谷休閒裝扮背後代表的意義是什麼;
‧為什麼「失敗很好」的想法是錯誤的。
在新科技劇烈改變世界的今日,
想要成功,你必須在一切發生之前研究結局。
你必須質疑你的構想,從零開始重新思考。
從0到1,為自己創造無限機會與價值!
