À propos de cet audio
An award-winning business writer dismantles the myths of entrepreneurship, replacing them with an essential story about the experience of real business owners in the modern economy.
We're often told that we're living amid a startup boom. Typically, we think of apps built by college kids and funded by venture capital firms, which remake fortunes and economies overnight. But in reality, most new businesses are things like restaurants or hair salons. Entrepreneurs aren't all millennials - more often, it's their parents. And those small companies are the fabric of our economy.
The Soul of an Entrepreneur is a business audiobook of a different kind, exploring our work but also our passions and hopes. David Sax reports on the deeply personal questions of entrepreneurship: why an immigrant family risks everything to build a bakery; how a small farmer fights to manage his debt; and what it feels like to rise and fall with a business you built for yourself.
This audiobook is the real story of entrepreneurship. It confronts both success and failure and shows how they can change a human life. It captures the inherent freedom that entrepreneurship brings and why it matters.

"You may think business books are not for you - that's why you need to read this one. David Sax takes us on a tour of real, non-digital businesses - from beauty salons to Syrian bakeries - that is both enlightening and inspiring. If this book doesn't make you want to start a company, you probably already own one." (AJ Jacobs, New York Times best-selling author of The Year of Living Biblically and It's All Relative)
"A necessary corrective to Silicon Valley's stranglehold on the meaning of entrepreneurship. David Sax's latest will get you fired up about the many different ways to build a meaningful life by striking out on your own."
(Cal Newport, New York Times best-selling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work)
"A fascinating and humane book that changes the very meaning of entrepreneurship. Don't even think about starting a business without reading The Soul of an Entrepreneur." (Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, New York Times best-selling author of Everybody Lies)

An excellent antidote to mainstream visions of entrepreneurship
The message is clear: how society and the media nurture and support startup culture is deeply flawed and doesn’t reflect most entrepreneurs. As a woman working in starting up a social enterprise, it was refreshing to hear so many relatable stories and learn some new approaches (like ESOP).
David is a great narrator, and you can hear his genuine affection for the people he interviewed. I listened to the whole thing in 2 days and will probably relisten on tough days!
