5 Stars | How I Built This
I am going to start off by saying that I very rarely read non-fiction. I find it dry & generally quite boring as I am not particularly enthused about celebrities or self-help books, but I absolutely loved this.
The writing was casual, but explained things in enough detail that I could follow along. The "learnings" are crafted into such lovely & succinct stories and I am so glad I gave this one a chance. I have copied my favourite passage below:
"There is a name for a person who creates something purely out of passion: hobbyist. There is a name for a person who creates some thing out of passion that solves a problem only they have: tinkerer. There is a name for a person who creates something out of passion that also solves a problem they share with lots of other people: entre- preneur."
