  1. Congrats, great presentation and a nice choice of books. You have 2/3 of my favorites there. While Crush It is good, it isn't as consistent as I'd like – nevertheless a great read.

  2. Thanks Antti. Regarding the books, they're really not my favorites(expect the Monk and the Riddle), but I though they were good starting books to mention about. Personally I liked Crush it since it was quote lightweight and fun to read, agreed that it isn't really that great or consistent.

    (And if someone is reading this, Antti is the guy who founded ArcticStartup and I just came along later on, but in terms of presentation simplicity and case of making a point, I didn't go too much into details of the actual history.)
