![]() ![]() Founders should start by understanding the assumptions behind their business using a Business Model Canvas, which requires founders to fill in nine boxes covering topics like “Value Propositions” and “Customer Segments.” Founders turn the key questions they have about their business into testable hypotheses and then build fast and cheap Minimal Viable Products to test these hypotheses. In short, the Lean Startup Method proposed that the key to a successful startup was to be biased towards action. The first was the rise of the Lean Startup Method, pioneered by Steve Blank and Eric Ries, and covered very ably by Blank in HBR six years ago. ![]() How can you teach entrepreneurship?” As a result, I have heard a lot of startup pitches (last year was blockchain this year was CBD) but I also have thought about how to answer the bigger question: what can we teach founders to make their startups more successful? Fortunately, the last decade has given me a lot of valuable lessons I can share, and these lessons come from two different sources. When someone finds out that I am an entrepreneurship professor, they tend to either ask me to listen to their startup pitch, or else they look at me quizzically and say: “But I thought entrepreneurship was all about improvisation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like many readers, I was wowed by "A Visit from the Goon Squad" (2010), but I was dazzled just as much by the novel that preceded it, "Look at Me" (2001), whose intricate plot is part thriller, part social satire, and part multi-layered identity drama. Jennifer Egan is one of my favorite authors. ![]() ![]() I was left thinking about this book for many days. Change comes with time and patience and with repeated slips backward. Like a more internalized Iris Murdoch, Egan doesn't let a character abruptly graduate to peace, acceptance, comfort - she'll describe, e.g., a Zen moment that Phoebe experiences, and then slap her right back down into misery, the way real life works. One thing Egan does beautifully that I really appreciate is to not tie anything up neatly. By the end, Phoebe has shed a great deal of her naivite and bravely come to face painful truths about her family and her idealization of them and of the flower-child generation she just missed growing up in. One scene on the beach with the sisters and the dying father made me put the book down for a few days - the narrator's childhood memory was so real and painful. Started off a bit rough but it's smooth now, and quite vivid. ![]() Set in 1970s San Francisco and Europe, where the protagonist traces her sister's footsteps.

Scholars have shown increasing interest in her literary output, particularly in her novels, which include the historical novels Valperga (1823) and Perkin Warbeck (1830), the apocalyptic novel The Last Man (1826), and her final two novels, Lodore (1835) and Falkner (1837).

Goodnight Moon was originally published in 1947 by Harper & Brothers, so the addition of "Row" dates this book to being published in the 1960s. First edition, early printing with the 1947 date present on the title page. It is possible that the first issue dust jacket has a retail price of $2.00, but debate continues.
