Company of One: Why Staying Small Is the Next Big Thing for Business by Paul Jarvis

3.0

I love the book's core thesis that questions the "growth above all" mentality of so much of business. As Jarvis succinctly puts it at the end of the book, "There’s only one rule for being a company of one: stay attentive to those opportunities that require growth and question them before taking them. That’s it—one rule." I enjoyed the exploration and defense of this thesis, but much of the book drifts from that focus by looking at how "companies of one" should operate — good stuff, but less insightful and fresh.
