**********************************************************************************************

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book - one that explores a new reality.

Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few pounds or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.

That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. The key is stripping everything back to the bare minimum and basics and then rebuilding; keeping everything simple and under control. You'll learn how to begin, why you need less than you think, when to launch, how to promote and whom (and when) to hire.

Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages.

It's time to rework work.

Perfect for readers of Tim Ferriss's The 4 Hour Work Week, Seth Godin's Purple Cow and Chris Anderson's The Long Tail.

Reviews

A Must Read Book from the Godfather of Impact Investing.

—— Forbes

A powerful case for a movement that is gaining traction.

—— Andrew Jack, The Financial Times

[IMPACT's] aim is nothing less than to create a new type of capitalism infused with social purpose. The book deserves to be read by anybody interested in such a revolution.

—— Martin Wolf, The Financial Times

A fascinating blueprint for a hope-filled future underpinned by the social power of impact investing.

—— Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund, Former CEO, World Bank Group

Capitalism isn't immoral, it's amoral - it's a wild beast that needs to be led. Here Sir Ronnie provides the core operating manual for those seeking to do good while also doing well.

—— Bono, Lead Singer of U2 and Co-Founder of The Rise Fund

Impact is a new and very important idea to reshape and save our economic system.

—— Paul Romer, Nobel Prize in Economics, 2018

The book is timely, visionary, bold...and thoroughly persuasive.

—— Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

This is not only a masterpiece but an historically important book-a powerful intervention in our thinking on harnessing financial resources for the good. It intervenes with profoundly compassionate imagination, and genius, where neither governments nor private philanthropy have prevailed. Each paragraph, each page, brim over with visionary scope and micro-textured examples of exactly what Sir Ronald has been so brilliantly engineering, and the many sectors in which the " Impact Revolution" is so well instantiated and advancing. Written with great lucidity and persuasive power, Impact is the most genuinely hopeful and important work I've read in this arena in decades.

—— Peter Sacks, Professor of English and American Literature and Language, Harvard University

‘The Netflix Culture Deck may well be the most important document ever to come out of the Valley’

—— Sheryl Sandberg

‘Netflix has emerged as one of the juggernauts of the entertainment industry in a very short period... It has a place at the elite table beside Facebook, Amazon and Google’

—— Financial Times

‘No matter what happens as television evolves, Netflix will be one of the winners… Reed Hastings has created a culture of excellence, where civil disagreement is encouraged. He may be the smartest CEO I’ve ever met’

—— Joe Nocera, Bloomberg

‘It’s an entire parallel TV universe, and it’s still expanding. Netflix is breathtakingly broad and microscopically niche at the same time’

—— New York Times

‘The standout success this year has been Netflix. Its market value has more than doubled to $172bn – making it bigger than Disney. And it is the only giant tech force which can still be described as a disruptor, rather than a fully established business’

—— Guardian

‘Netflix is famous for its unique culture. Reed Hastings has already taken on Hollywood — the most powerful companies in Silicon Valley are next’

—— Wired
