“A guide to innovation and creating unique businesses.
“Book recommendations from Patrick Collison of Stripe - some goodies on there!
“There are several good parts in this book and I've felt some of my views shift as a result of reading the book (which is all you can ask for). A lot of Peter's arguments are supported with examples and anecdotes which is great because it grounds the discussion, but I also kept thinking that some seemed cherry picked. In a pool of 20 successful companies it seems it would be easy to always find the one that fits a narrative. Regardless, interesting read; These are useful ideas to be aware of. 3/5
