[Manouane Beauchamp · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a potpourri of all the interviews Monocle has done and published in the Entrepreneur magazine. There are three sections in the books: the first one gathers advice from so-called experts about the best things to do when starting a business (identical to any other business book about starting a business). The second part is about different cities in the world in case moving to another city is part of your entrepreneur plans. The last section presents success stories. Boring.

Average book. I found the stories to be inspiring. But it does not paint the whole picture of their journey as an entrepreneur.

This is a good book for those who would like to learn about entrepreneurship. It features a well-curated collection of 100 inspiring stories from entrepreneurs.
