About this audiobook
Startup people lead very intensely rewarding lives but time is always short and relationships are often long-distant and stressed because of long periods apart. Coping and adopting are critical for any entrepreneur and their partners. Brad Feld shares his own personal experiences with his wife Amy offering a series of rich insights into successfully leading a balanced life as a human being who wants to play as hard as he works and who wants to be as fulfilled in life and in work. In this book, Brad Feld addresses how the village of Startup people can put aside their workaholic ways and lead rewarding lives in all respects.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It feels odd to recommend this as much as I'd like since I love Brad and Amy AND I contributed a tiny bit to it. But the book is terrific. EVERY entrepreneur should read this. In fact, every entrepreneur and the folks that love them should read it. It's chock full of priceless (and hard-earned) practical advice not only for your relationship to survive but for you to maintain your sanity.
