Born Standing Up

Comedy legend briefly tells his story from birth to the top.

It’s a treat. He’s smart, sincere, and sensitive throughout, which took me slightly by surprise since he so often plays the opposite type of character.

But it’s never heavy handed, and it offers its fair share of laughs, too.

Another great example of someone grinding for decades to earn overnight success. 

Recommended for all. Would make a great plane, train, or beach book.

This is the book that contains @pmarca’s #1 advice for Founders:



“Be so good they can’t ignore you.”

That's from Cal Newport's "So Good They Can't Ignore You." A fantastic book that shifts the focus from 'follow your passion' to developing rare and valuable skills. Timeless advice.
