that was my main problem with "The Lean Startup" too. it was really really hard to finish it when only 10% of the content was actionable (the rest anecdotal)

- joecasson 10y agoI often find myself reading about 30% of books like "The Lean Startup," and moving on. Not necessarily the first 30%, but overall. Understand the thesis, and move on. I have yet to find a business book where this doesn't apply. I only finish the ones where I particularly like the writing style or the anecdotes.
- ajmurmann 10y agoHave you read "The hard thing about hard things"? I found it had very little padding and was loaded to the rim with valuable information.
- Spooky23 10y agoIt was worse in audiobook form. I was stuck in a jury duty situation without any other materials (I had a library play away, my phone was dead, and reading materials were taken), and I still couldn't listen to that thing!
