Book Reviews

  • @BillCarr89 With this book, you and @cbryar have created the potential for the tech industry to leap years into the future, in terms of the principles & tactics for how to build products, operate for scale, and create an aligned culture. So it is my pleasure, and I thank you for writing it.Link to Tweet
  • Just finished Working Backwards. Superb book, with deep insights on how to operate. Unlike most books in this genre, it isn’t just a bunch of fun (but unactionable) stories about a mega-success. Very easily in my list of top 5 books for product leaders. https://t.co/de35JtjrZBLink to Tweet
