The hard thing about hard things

Ben Horowitz is a bit of a legend in the tech world, one of Silicon Valley's most respected entrepreneurs and investors. In this book, he seeks to talk about the uncomfortable truths and hard lessons not covered in business school - firing a friend, mental health, poaching from the competition, growing into the role of CEO, bad employees, and when to sell. Written in a signature straight talking style, interspersed with rap quotes, it's an entertaining and useful read, offering real insight to the realities of high growth tech entrepreneurship.
