The Soul of an Entrepreneur

“The Soul of an Entrepreneur reclaims entrepreneurship for the 99.99% of businesspeople who aren’t at the helm of billion-dollar corporations. David Sax writes poetically (and often humorously) about what makes these everyday entrepreneurs tick, and why tens of millions of us choose entrepreneurship over the corporate rat race.” –Adam Alter, New York Times bestselling author of Irresistible“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 bestselling author of Everybody Lies“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 bestselling author of Deep Work“David Sax brilliantly zeroes in on the crucial questions we must ask ourselves–and insights we must consider–as we begin the entrepreneur’s task of making something from nothing. If you wish to start a company, this book will help you act with intention and make an impact.” –Scott Belsky, founder of Behance and author of Making Ideas Happen“Sax looks at entrepreneurship in a whole new way, drawing out valuable lessons for anyone who wants to lead more a passionate and productive life.” –Sheelah Kolhatkar, New York Times bestselling author of Black Edge“Timely … [We] come away with an appreciation of the daunting challenges faced by small businesses and, most poignantly, by those who supply our food.” –Wall Street Journal“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.” –A. J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically
