Book Review – Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur

‘Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur’ by Derek Sivers of CD Baby fame is supposed to be a self-help book on startups/business, but it’s more of an autobiography than business advice.

There are 40 lessons in this book alright, but most of them are applicable to a personality like Derek Sivers in certain unique situations. I don’t think these lessons can be generalized as the author hopes. But since no lesson can be generalized, there is a lot to learn from individual unique experiences. 

Since my personality type is a bit like the author, I found the experience and suggestions very valuable. I listened to the audio book and should say that the narration is too good. The author could also narrate for others in his spare time
