Everything Google does is different, and so is How Google Works. It is not one of those prescriptive volumes that will talk about Greek philosophers’ views on leadership or how to run a city. The book is a firsthand account of what has worked at Google and what Larry Page and Sergey Brin envisioned when they began the start-up many years ago. The book is written in a witty and humorous narrative style and you will struggle to put it down.
