NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Perfect for graduation or anyone who needs inspiration to step off the career conveyer belt, this book will teach you how to find your unique dream job and avoid a career you'll regret. After all, life is a use-it-or-lose-it proposition. Shouldn't you spend it doing something you love?
"I love the book. It's such a practical guide, and I'm sure it will be a very popular gift for college grads."--Sara Eisen, CNBC
"Fantastic. A variety of useful insights and examples that converge into one story that underlies remarkable success in nearly any field: The relentless hunger to learn about the thing you love."--James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits
After college Bill Gurley landed a job at a famous tech company. It should have been a dream come true--but he was surprisingly bored. So, Gurley leapt into the unknown, eventually finding his place in the world of venture capital, the beginning of a remarkable investing career.
It turns out, Gurley's happy ending is rare. Nearly six in ten people would do things differently if they could start over. This is the trap of "career regret." So how can we avoid it? What can we learn from people at the top of their fields who love what they do? The culmination of Gurley's decade-long project to unpack the components of success, Runnin' Down a Dream identifies six principles to flourish in your chosen career: the antidotes to career regret. From developing "obsessive" curiosity to the art of building strong peer groups, these timeless principles add up to a playbook not just for success, but a purpose-filled life.
Written in Gurley's straight-talk voice and revealing the captivating stories of industry titans like talent agent Lorrie Bartlett, restaurateur Danny Meyer, and sports executive Sam Hinkie, Runnin' Down a Dream will inspire a new generation to find their place in the world, while offering a much-needed rebuttal to the idea that hustle and happiness are incompatible.
