Ben Horowitz, cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz and one of Silicon Valley's most respected and experienced entrepreneurs, offers essential advice on building and running a startup—practical wisdom for managing the toughest problems business school doesn’t cover, based on his popular ben’s blog.

While many people talk about how great it is to start a business, very few are honest about how difficult it is to run one. Ben Horowitz analyzes the problems that confront leaders every day, sharing the insights he’s gained developing, managing, selling, buying, investing in, and supervising technology companies. A lifelong rap fanatic, he amplifies business lessons with lyrics from his favorite songs, telling it straight about everything from firing friends to poaching competitors, cultivating and sustaining a CEO mentality to knowing the right time to cash in.

Filled with his trademark humor and straight talk, The Hard Thing About Hard Things is invaluable for veteran entrepreneurs as well as those aspiring to their own new ventures, drawing from Horowitz's personal and often humbling experiences.

读后感

“只要站在风口上，猪都能飞起来。”雷军童鞋的这句话，被很多人引为“圣经”。再加上现在“万众创业”、“众创空间”等词铺天盖地的飞过来，感觉人人都在见VC、聊风投，仅仅是实现财务自由什么的理想，简直是弱爆了。一向正能量的我今天只想一盆冷水泼过去：你真的扛得住创业...  

英语中有一个专有名字叫：WFIO. 英文意思是：we're f**cked，it's over. 中文意思是：我们要完蛋了。 一般一家公司至少会经历2-5次这样的时刻，而我四年创业，经历了至少5次以上。最近两次我才终于悟到了一些心得体会。 恰巧这些心得体会都被霍洛维茨给总结了。 霍洛维兹是谁？...  

不知道从什么时候开始，我身边谈论创业话题的人渐渐地多了起来。曾经的白领密集区渐渐成了职业转型预备区——这也算是一种职业天花板预警信号。积累了大量工作经验和专业知识的职场人士，为了避开“彼特定律”的陷阱或者是裁员的屠刀，开始考虑利用自己的职业经验和人脉、自己...

全是干货

My Bible.(0519). Sample 部分可以给四星。作者第一家工作是SGI，第一份令他激动的工作是Netscape（在IPO之前），兴趣一直跟随在图形研究方面，看到互联网诞生（对大众而言）的过程。对我这样技术历史盲者，了解互联网的史前时代很让人激动。几段个人感受写得直白真切。

谁说硅谷是美国肤浅的乐观主义的巅峰？！（呃我说的....）但它也是美国现实主义、理性主义、理想主义的巅峰。它也触及人性深层地恐惧与希望，道德与信仰。
