具体描述
Ben Horowitz, cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz and one of Silicon Valley's most respected and experienced entrepreneurs, offers essential advice on building and running a startup—practical wisdom for managing the toughest problems business school doesn’t cover, based on his popular ben’s blog.
While many people talk about how great it is to start a business, very few are honest about how difficult it is to run one. Ben Horowitz analyzes the problems that confront leaders every day, sharing the insights he’s gained developing, managing, selling, buying, investing in, and supervising technology companies. A lifelong rap fanatic, he amplifies business lessons with lyrics from his favorite songs, telling it straight about everything from firing friends to poaching competitors, cultivating and sustaining a CEO mentality to knowing the right time to cash in.
Filled with his trademark humor and straight talk, The Hard Thing About Hard Things is invaluable for veteran entrepreneurs as well as those aspiring to their own new ventures, drawing from Horowitz's personal and often humbling experiences.

读后感
一、第一感悟： 创业需要激情与兄弟或朋友；创业次数越多，能一起创业的兄弟或朋友越少，激情也减弱（钱多导致的），所以创业者成功后大多都做创业投资了（“钱生钱”比实业容易）。 二、第二感悟：成功CEO没有秘诀，仅有 1、看其专心致志的能力和在无路可走时选择最佳路径的能...
评分 评分作为一个马上才开始工作的学生,我没读4-8章,我觉得当有意识要做CEO的时候再来看会更有价值吧. 其余的部分更像是一部硅谷打拼的自传. 整个过程就是跟随者作者一个打击接着一个打击,每次都差点要失败,人都处于高度紧张的状态,但每次都拼了老命力挽狂澜. 你感觉像是一个做事情总是...
评分在我看來，創業是一個兩階段的工作：先從○到一，再從一到一○○。 從○到一講求的是創造、無中生有，巧妙利用板塊位移（Paradigm Shifts）帶來的顛覆力量，在大國割據、列強環伺的戰場中，找出一個有機會通往勝利的縫隙。這階段創業者需要扮演的是游擊隊長，決策快速、以一...
评分“只要站在风口上，猪都能飞起来。”雷军童鞋的这句话，被很多人引为“圣经”。再加上现在“万众创业”、“众创空间”等词铺天盖地的飞过来，感觉人人都在见VC、聊风投，仅仅是实现财务自由什么的理想，简直是弱爆了。一向正能量的我今天只想一盆冷水泼过去：你真的扛得住创业...

This book could also be named "The hard things about being a CEO". The first 20% is the story part which explains "Who am I to write such a book" . The rest is about the "hard things" and the author's suggestions, though IMHO suggestions are only given to help introduce the potential problems, no real world CEO would take them literally.

评分在Economist的书评上读到这本书，出于对互联网创业和风投的好奇，便买来读了。读完后创业知识没学到多少，只觉得创业真难，当CEO真难，坚持真难。哪天你们觉得坚持不下去的时候，可以读读看，连BenHorowitz都熬过那么多次生死不如寝食难安的夜晚啊。@简叔在简书 @指间战争
评分我觉得这是一本高级玩家游戏攻略 我们才玩到第1关的人就算看懂了其实也没懂 但我们至少知道了高手是怎么通关的~
