Yeah I had a boss who, when I mentioned that I was reading about startups and recommended the books, dismissed them saying that it didn’t seem like one could learn from books. Which seemed like a weird dichotomy because nobody’s saying you can learn how to run a startup entirely from a book? We’re just saying you can learn some useful elements or perspectives from books. Which is really all that you can ask for from instructional material.
