This is one of my book reviews which you can subscribe to via RSS using this feed. If you’re interested in some of my original writing, check out my substack!

Uri, best known for founding Waze, drops bombs of experience and knowledge every 5 minutes. Though the second half is a bit slower, THE FIRST HALF IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ for anyone who even has a small strand of entrepreneurship in their genes.

It’s clear that Uri poured his heart and soul into this book. It is the coalition of decades of experience, with tons of blood, sweat and tears poured in between the lines. He see-saws from ideology to concrete experience keeping the book engaging at all times.

I listened to the audiobook at 0.75x speed during my morning workout, leaving voice notes every time I heard something interesting. Suffice it to say, there was a moment when I had to stop my timed burpees just to jot something down.

I’ve read about enough enterpenruship journeys to learn that that everyone forges their own unique path. Some paths, such as the 20 year old dropout from Harvard, are glorified by the media more than others. Uri’s is a lot more humble, realistic, and arguably why it is not talked about as much.
