Little Bets, by Peter Sims ’98, makes a shortlist of entrepreneurial self-help books compiled by The Wall Street Journal for the article, “The Best Advice Around, From Those Who Took It.”

“This book demolishes the usual excuses entrepreneurs have for not starting a business,” says Saras D. Sarasvathy, an associate professor at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, in the article, adding that the book “shows how “˜doing the doable’ without waiting for a big idea, or guarantees about the final outcome, can lead to amazing breakthroughs.”
