Critics Review
The Tech Giants are far from perfect, but Always Day One reveals the inventive elements of their culture that entrepreneurs can and should learn from. * Mark Cuban, serial entrepreneur, investor, and owner of the Dallas Mavericks *Always Day One is the gangster read that provides an inside look at the culture that has allowed the tech titans to perform infanticide on their competition. Alex Kantrowitz is both thorough and critical while reminding us to remain optimistic about our future living alongside big tech. * Scott Galloway, author of The Four and The Algebra of Happiness *This book is a must-read for anyone trying to understand how successful companies operate in the age of the tech giants, and anyone hoping to explore the secrets behind those giants’ dominance. It is a delightful romp through Silicon Valley and beyond. * Charles Duhigg, author of bestsellers The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better *Not your traditional leadership book, Always Day One takes you deep inside the tech giants, revealing the inner workings of the world’s most innovative companies. * Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable *The world’s most successful technology companies have secrets behind why they’ve thrived. Those secrets are the reason why they are, in equal parts, inspiring and infuriating. Read Always Day One to learn some of the most important ones. * Roy Bahat, venture capitalist at Bloomberg Beta *
