He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSo that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tony keeps things simple- he just tells you what works.
