Blitzscaling Vs The Voltage Effect: A Case Study Of Two Books On Start Ups.
Read on….
Reading a great book can have the same effect as having great sex on the brain.
Somewhere deep in your sub-conscious, you pine for the very same feeling you had when that explosive orgasmic episode took place.
And having that particular feeling, where books are concerned, is everything.
And it is the reason for this article.
We live in the age of start ups.
And their reach has permeated every area of our lives: from love to insurance to pensions; from food deliveries to book purchases and everything else in between, the use of software and artificial intelligence to solve real problems has upended our world forever.
This new development, has unsurprisingly, given rise to a generation of writers who have sought to benefit from this enterprise.
But not every work of literature produced on start ups has had the same galvanizing effect on would be readers.
And this is quite evident in the books being reviewed in this post.
Blitzscaling is a book written by the founder of LinkedIn — Reid Hoffman and Chris Yeh.
