Praise for IMPATIENT OPTIMIST: BILL GATES IN HIS OWN WORDS
“Editor Lisa Rogak...has compiled sound bites from Chairman Bill by topic, from A (acquiring other companies) to W (working with his wife). The result is like eating salted peanuts: Once you start reading, it's hard to stop."—Anne Fisher, CNN Money
"Strategy Driven contributors appreciated the layout of Impatient Optimist, the organization of quotes around meaningful topic areas, the dating of each quote, and Bill Gates' life story timeline provided at the end of the book."—Strategy Driven
PRAISE FOR AGATE B2'S NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING SERIES, IN THEIR OWN WORDS:
"[I, Steve] is the same treatment given such luminaries as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and Christopher Hitchens and offers Jobs's views on life, death, technology and design, among other topics.”—Timothy R. Smith, The Washington Post
"A new book revealing many of Steve Jobs' most illuminating quotes..."—Lance Whitney, CNET
"A 160-page collection of quotes from the most iconic product pitchman since P.T. Barnum."—Ben Popper, The New York Observer BetaBeat blog
"A much better Jobs product is coming soon. It’ll entertain you for hours, and no—it is not a Jobs-branded iPad or anything similarly high-tech. It is, friends, an old-fashioned book!"—Hillary Reinsberg, Mogulite
"Inspirational reading pleasure."—Courtney Boyd Myers, The Next Web
"The kind of book that you read, think about, and then pass on to a friend or colleague...I learned a lot about Jobs’ thinking process."—Allen Stern, CenterNetworks
"[Boy Billionaire] reveals the intimate thoughts and beliefs of the man who has arguably created one of the world's largest companies…and who is also one of the world's greatest social connectors."—Strategy Driven
"A short work to be dipped into for nuggets of business (or law firm) wisdom..."—Michael Roach, Law Technology News
