review 1: I really loved this book. I work in the tech community, and it's a complete echo chamber. It's important to remember that not all innovation is US based and to see how other companies are thriving in chaos. Not everyone needs daily catered lunches to be successful or thrive. Sarah paints a picture of the entrepreneurial communities in Israel, Brazil, Indonesia, India, China, etc. that tell compelling stories of what makes the communities tick. I admire her courage in traveling the world for 40-weeks when few people believed in this book, and she was visiting favelas to tell a story. I'm hoping she does a 1-year and 5-year update on the entrepreneurs to see where their paths take them. Goes with the theme of her last book on serial entrepreneurs and what makes them successf... moreul. I think this is a book for not only the tech community but the wider business community. They should be cognizant of how the world economies are changing in general.
review 2: I loved this book! It was such an interesting and personal view of entrepreneurs all over the world who are building some amazing companies. I loved Sarah's first hand view of the different cultures and personalities, laid on top of larger economic trends. I'm not usually one for "business books" and while this is technically in that category it was as good as any of the fiction books that I've read lately. Highly recommend! And not just because Sarah's a good friend :) less
