Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making

Get the ultimate mentor-in-a-box for your career, startup, and creative projects with the New York Times bestseller Build by Tony Fadell—the legendary creator of the iPod, iPhone, and Nest!

About the Book: Everyone deserves a mentor. For every career crisis, every fork in the road, and every difficult decision, you need someone who has been there before, who knows how wobbly and conflicted you feel, and who can give it to you straight. Tony Fadell learned his lessons the hard way—spending the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in modern history. Serving as an advice encyclopedia for leaders, designers, entrepreneurs, and managers, Build cuts through standard corporate hype with old-school, human-nature-based wisdom. Whether you're trying to figure out how to choose a job, become a better manager, design a product, start a company, or bounce back from devastating screwups, Fadell keeps things simple, honest, and wildly practical to help you make things worth making.
