Summary
Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched.
Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business.
The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning”, rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product-development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute.
Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs - in companies of all sizes - a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever.

A Lean Life
Although tech focused the theory is applicable to most businesses and also not useful to only entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and business in general but also to your own personal life. Most of us won't choose to adapt, to pivot our lives if goals, behaviours or activities aren't leading to the results we desired when we set our goals at the outset.
Engaging listen, with value in every chapter without unnecessary filler. Will listen to again without doubt.

Proves why an author should never narrate their own book
I'm sure the content of this book was good but I couldn't get past the monotone and drab narration of this audiobook. Don't bother with sleeping pills- listen to this!

Not for me
Very basic business mistakes and the author just wanting to get things off his chest.

difficult to listen to, terrible delivery, weak vocal. boring content, even for someone looking to understand more of this area. the content made me lose interest, even in an area I'm interested in.
