My Start-Up Life: What a (Very) Young CEO Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley By Marc Benioff, Ben Casnocha

Joan Minguet has this up for trade. Trade with Joan Minguet for this.

  • The book explains the story of how Ben Casnocha founded his first venture when he was 12, how he decided to ditch it two years later and build his second one, Comcate, and how he brought it to being the leading e-government technology firm in the US.

    The book explains the story of how Ben Casnocha founded his first venture when he was 12, how he decided to ditch it two years later and build his second one, Comcate, and how he brought it to being the leading e-government technology firm in the US.
    The story is so wonderfully explained that it mixes the plot with a whole lot of advice which just makes sense to me, but I wouldn't be able to think on my own. His writing seems honest and, in general, modest.

    The whole book is an entrepeneurship manifesto. A must-read.

Recruit or Die: How Any Business Can Beat the Big Guys in the War for Young Talent By Chris Resto, Ian Ybarra, Ramit Sethi
Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success By Penelope Trunk
Never Hit a Jellyfish With a Spade: How to Survive Life's Smaller Challenges By Guy Browning
  • Not much of a book.
    There are some funny jokes, but it surely isn't all what I expected from a book which promises to give invaluable advice about how to fulfill every-day's goals.
    I couldn't find anything of use in it.

    The last book from the Harry Potter's series. I enjoyed it enough, though sometimes the book seemed too slow to me. Looking back to the previous books, the author keeps using the same ideas again and again, but the story continues which "obliges" us to read it until finally -in this book- the saga ends.

    A fast and easy reading. Perfect for a summer's afternoon.

    Exceptionally written, I really liked this book. The author introduces us to genetics and even takes some steps further, keeping it really easy to understand.

    Some interesting topics treated are DNA replication, genetic diseases, transgenics, cloning, ethical genetics and many more. Each topic is divided in subtopics that fit in two pages, which makes it very context-comprehensible and lets us read it in small chunks.

    Fully Recommended!
