I recommend this book to anyone looking to start a new business or break
through to the next level of their career. It’s full of inspiration and tools
needed to be fearless and push forward when you’re ready to make a big
change. I wish I had it by my side when starting Warby Parker.

models that use personal data to empower people and to ensure real
competition and transparency that truly allows consumer choice.
