The breakthrough concepts of Pattern Breakers come from the observations of Mike Maples Jr., a seasoned venture capitalist, who noticed something strange. Start-ups like Twitter, Twitch, and Lyft had achieved extraordinary success despite their disregard for “best practices.” In contrast, other startups deemed highly promising often failed, even when they seemed to do everything right. Seeking answers, Maples and coauthor Peter Ziebelman set out to discover the hidden forces that drive extraordinary start-up success.

I learnt so much from this book, but I almost did not listen because of negative reviews - that would have been a costly mistake.

But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges: Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. But so do the other eight.

This is profoundly heartbreaking but reassuring that Paul lived his dreams, although not long enough. His book is achieving more touching and bringing people to the reality of life, meaning and purpose.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Reviewed: 11-07-19
David Goggins made me realise that the mind is one's big obstacle to realising life's greatest missions. The good news is that it can be tamed and trained. His life documented throughout this book shows us how. It takes extraordinary guts to be this open and vulnerable to let millions of strangers peek into your life and to reflect about theirs as well. Thank you for writing and thumbs up to Adam for the excellent narration.

This Book touched a creative nerve. Superb!!
Reviewed: 07-20-19
This book is beautifully written and well narrated, twelve hours of enjoyable listening on moonshots, Innovation and entrepreneurship left me with lots inspiration to go out and be part of big audacious solutions to the many problems still out there for humanity to solve. I highly recommend it to anyone pondering on how to solve the scarcity problems facing the world.
But among the numerous nuggets and sound advice throughout the book, this one in particular kept ringing in my head "Successful entrepreneurs do not fail, they pivot" is all I need to not give up on my vision.

Yes, culture trump everything else, the stories seems ok but the narration made it a bit boring for me. The audio book is a bit lengthy though.
