- davidw 14y agoLean Startup fell pretty flat for me. It felt like there wasn't much "there there". Recommended alternatives: Read it, liked it more than Lean Startup: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055D7O1U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0055D7O1U&linkCode=as2&tag=dedasys-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055D7O1U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?... Started reading it, seems much more thorough than Lean Startup: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0984999302/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0984999302&linkCode=as2&tag=dedasys-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0984999302/ref=as_li_ss_tl?... - annoyingly does not have a Kindle version. Haven't ready it, heard it's good: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006UKFFE0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B006UKFFE0&linkCode=as2&tag=dedasys-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006UKFFE0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?... And of course, my favorite of all, because it's full of real, practical advice, Start Small, Stay Small.
- jevanish 14y agoI gotta agree with you. Conceptually Lean Startup was ok, but there was zero content in it that I could easily grasp and apply to a company. It was all too high level. I think most of Clayton Christensen's books are the same way. Eric Ries is in the consulting business (like Clayton) and he's trying to bring Lean Startup to the mainstream & big companies. I think his book achieves that goal but at the expense of being helpful to startups.
