The Hard Thing About Hard Things

Ben Horowitz

7/10

Finished Apr 27, 2024

My takeaway

Building a company is brutal. There's no playbook for the hardest moments.

Notes & highlights

  • There's no recipe for really complicated, dynamic situations.
  • Take care of the people, the products, and the profits—in that order.
  • Hard things are hard because there are no easy answers or recipes.
  • The struggle is where greatness comes from.
