Will help you to understand what you are about to signup. :)I saw some who dismiss the book because it does not cause respect to the author. Well, the truth is hard. And I respect Ben even more with naked truth about himself.A book is a collection of extreme stories, ugly problems and ugly solutions, that allowed company to go forward.
