I first started listening to Guy Raz's popular podcast a few years ago, mostly on car trips. It was a podcast that our kids could overhear and it kept both my husband and I engaged. This book is exactly the same content as the podcast. It is inspirational and interesting. I liked how it was organized more by topic rather than entrepreneur. However, if you have listened to the podcast a lot (like I have), it's really nothing new. Its basically a business ethics books with examples.
So, I would recommend it to those interested in business books or interested in the formulation and running of a business, but this was nothing new for me.

Podcaster Guy Raz has a new September book releases based on his popular NPR podcast How I Built This. Having interviewed hundreds of successful entrepreneurs, Raz has all the insights you need to build your business. Reminding me of Malcolm Gladwell or Charles Duhigg, Raz outlines the steps to building a successful business with interesting anecdotes. Yet, Raz isn't as strong a writer as either Gladwell or Duhigg so I felt the book lacked the magic of either of their books. My suggestion: skip the book in favor of the podcast.

How I Built This by Guy Raz. Interesting insights into real life entrepreneurs' journey to success. Well written and easy to read.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

If you are familiar with NPR's, Guy raz of How I built this, then this is not new to you.

The stories inside the book bring alive the humans, their doubts, their trials and success. It has a memoir like quality to it.
