review 1: This is the best business book I have read till date.It effortlessly dismantles the bullshit idea of a good entrepreneur as a modern day Indiana Jones hacking their way through a jungle of self-doubt armed only with an iron clad will and a penchant for making the right decisions at the right time. This books recast my understanding of the ideal entrepreneur as a scientist, methodical and precise.The book outlines exactly what to pay attention to through each of the four stages of turning an idea into a sustainable business that earns 10x on its initial investment. To be honest, I didn't even know there were stages before I picked up this book, let along what to focus on in each one of them.Zero bullshit, just super useful, highly-actionable advice from someone who sounds l... moreike they know what they are talking about. It's not a particularly enjoyable read but then again, its not the kind of book you read for enjoyment.I intend to reread this incredible book at least once a year.
review 2: Es mucho más un libro de texto robusto que una guía ligera de emprendimiento. Me gusta para una App o un libro interactivo. El formato y las listas interminables no son lo mejor, pero la teoría es la más acercada a la realidad.. empezando por que no todos los productos nuevos (ni los mercados) son iguales.Es posible que para los programadores emprendedores, sea el papá de todos los libros. less

Puts the science in creating a startup. There is also a good collage course on-line on Udacity.com

Good book if you're new to lean startup methodologies. Does get repetitive after awhile I must say
