The Start-Up of You

The closing comments delivered by the likable authors, one a co-founder of LinkedIn and both entrepreneurs, is a fitting way to cap off this personal lesson on developing authentic career success. It's an astute guide to effective networking and a well-crafted lesson on staying nimble, creative, and resilient while moving through the stages of our working lives. Humble-sounding narrator Kaleo Griffith performs this timely book with secure optimism and effortless diction. Though he breezes through every phrasing challenge and has an appealing vocal personality, what's more memorable is how well his performance conveys the authors' desire to be helpful--not just with strategic advice but with their inspirational message that we all have the potential to do something worthwhile in the world with our talents.
