Anything You Want
Derek Sivers
A short book on building a business around what you care about, without copying someone else’s definition of success.
What I wrote
Short, clear, and honest. Sivers writes like someone who actually built something and then decided what kind of life he wanted around it.
It reminded me that a business can be useful without becoming a cage.
