What we loved:

This really is a great introduction to Paul Graham’s startup writing and other ideas on leadership. It’s split into a few different sections, and within these, each relevant essay is linked. One point really stand out to you? Easy to go read the whole essay it’s based on. If you want to get into Paul Graham’s work but the sheer amount of it is intimidating (or you really can’t find it in you to read through all his ideas on founding a startup), read this Paul Graham summary and go from there.

‍What we didn't love:

In its original Google Doc form, this ebook had pretty good navigation in the form of the outline pane. But placed into any other context, it becomes a little more difficult to work your way through it. We also have to note the lack of coding/programming content. It’s not an oversight — the author himself admits he doesn’t have the background to do those topics justice. But if you’re interested in those Paul Graham essays in particular, this collection is not for you.
