Things A Little Bird Told Me (Paperback)

Summary of the Book
Biz Stone is many things to many people. Entrepreneur, college dropout, businessman, programmer and nerd of the year. But to himself he is so much more, and in this book he offers a slice of his life for readers to draw humour, insights and occasional advice from. With interesting stories of his life at Google and Twitter, Biz relates how opportunity can never be created. He talks about failure, vulnerability and ambition, showing how the greatest achievements are a direct result of non-linear thoughts. Addressing creativity, he shows how corporate culture is improved by it and how one must perceive it as an unending resource. The book shows readers that asking questions is the only way to learn, and it is often the cheapest way as it costs nothing. It also teaches that empathy is the principal part of personal and global success.
