I like the title I've been living by what you do is who you are forever. I like that title better, but I think this is a more important book and it's way more kind of usable for for people.
The best things said about it
I think this is Ben Horowitz's book, What You Do Is Who You Are.
Ben Horowitz is gonna call in and talk about his new best-selling book we've been trying to get him on the show for a while and Ben's gonna tell us about the response to his amazing new book what you do is who you are how to create your business culture which is out in hardcover right now.
Jason Calacanis This Week in Startups · Feb 2020 And Ben actually wrote this book called What You Do is Who You Are. And in the book, he talked about some of our conversations around culture. And it kind of gave them a framework to really understand how these lessons I learned in prison could really be applied in corporate.
