Everyone deserves a mentor.

For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:

Here's how to think about choosing a job.
Here's how to be a better manager.
Here's how to approach design.
Here's how to start a company.
Here's how to run it.

Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.

I'm halfway through it now! Easily the best book I've seen about how to navigate your tech career. Filled with insights that just click & super quotable lines. Plus Tony's personality really shines through - very energizing. If you're in tech, whether you're 25 or 55, go grab it!

Tony Fadell co-created the iPhone.In his book, Build, he explains why product management and product marketing should be the same role."Your messaging is your product. The story you're telling shapes the thing you're making."I've always believed this as someone who did both.
