The #1 Wall Street Journal Business Book Bestseller & Top 10
New York Times Bestseller. Based on the highly acclaimed NPR
podcast, How I Built This with Guy Raz, his book offers priceless
insights and inspiration from the world's top entrepreneurs on how
to start, launch and build a successful venture. Great ideas often
come from a simple spark: a football player on the New Zealand
national team notices all the unused wool his country produces and
figures out a way to turn them into shoes (Allbirds). A former
Buddhist monk decides the very best way to spread his mindfulness
teachings is by launching an app (Headspace). A sandwich cart
vendor finds a way to reuse leftover pita bread and turns it into a
multi-million dollar business (Stacy's Pita Chips). Award-winning
podcast creator Guy Raz has interviewed more than 200 highly
successful innovators from across the world, from the founders of
Five Guys, Airbnb and Bumble to James Dyson and Reed Hastings of
Netflix, to uncover amazing true stories like these. In How I Built
This, he shares tips for every entrepreneur's journey: from the
early days of formulating your idea, to raising money and
recruiting employees, to finding your market and, finally, to
paying yourself a real salary. This is a must-read for anyone who
has ever dreamed of starting their own business or wondered how
trail-blazing go-getters made their own dreams a reality. 'A must
read for anyone who wants to start a business, grow a business, or
be inspired by those who do' - Adam Grant, author of Originals
'These stories of founders and their companies are told with the
same energy and openness it takes to be an entrepreneur' - Eric
Ries, author of The Lean Startup 'Guy Raz is supremely himself in
this guide for aspiring entrepreneurs: brilliantly perceptive,
