The Soul of an Entrepreneur

Work and Life Beyond the Startup Myth

De: David Sax

Narrado por: David Sax

An award-winning business writer dismantles the myths of entrepreneurship, replacing them with an essential story about the experience of real business owners in the modern economy.

We're often told that we're living amid a startup boom. Typically, we think of apps built by college kids and funded by venture capital firms, which remake fortunes and economies overnight. But in reality, most new businesses are things like restaurants or hair salons. Entrepreneurs aren't all millennials - more often, it's their parents. And those small companies are the fabric of our economy.

The Soul of an Entrepreneur is a business audiobook of a different kind, exploring our work but also our passions and hopes. David Sax reports on the deeply personal questions of entrepreneurship: why an immigrant family risks everything to build a bakery; how a small farmer fights to manage his debt; and what it feels like to rise and fall with a business you built for yourself.

This audiobook is the real story of entrepreneurship. It confronts both success and failure and shows how they can change a human life. It captures the inherent freedom that entrepreneurship brings and why it matters.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"You may think business books are not for you - that's why you need to read this one. David Sax takes us on a tour of real, non-digital businesses - from beauty salons to Syrian bakeries - that is both enlightening and inspiring. If this book doesn't make you want to start a company, you probably already own one." (AJ Jacobs, New York Times best-selling author of The Year of Living Biblically and It's All Relative)

"A necessary corrective to Silicon Valley's stranglehold on the meaning of entrepreneurship. David Sax's latest will get you fired up about the many different ways to build a meaningful life by striking out on your own."
(Cal Newport, New York Times best-selling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work)

"A fascinating and humane book that changes the very meaning of entrepreneurship. Don't even think about starting a business without reading The Soul of an Entrepreneur." (Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, New York Times best-selling author of Everybody Lies)

If you are about the business, this IS your book.

From all the where, what, how, why and when of business; this book gives it. From great stories and examples of failure and success, these stories will take you on a journey much like your own. I related and learned a lot, and I just rock a side hustle to my day job. Sax -- as usual -- did not disappoint.

Nailed It!

I have been an entrepreneur my entire career in one way or another and David really captures the heart and soul of what that means. Great story telling that fully supports the main ideas making it all come to life in a wonderful way. If you are an entrepreneur or know someone that is thinking about being one, I highly recommend this book. David—-great job in the read as well!!!
