Crazy is a compliment

In Crazy is a Compliment, Linda Rottenberg shows that when pursuing our dreams, taking smart risks is the only safe option. These days, taking chances isn't just for Silicon Valley college dropouts in hooded sweatshirts.

Linda Rottenberg shows what we can all learn from leading innovators to pursue our own big dreams, drawing on research from her company Endeavor, a thriving non-profit that identifies, mentors, and invests in fast-growing small businesses with the potential to transform their communities. Crazy is a Compliment offers a blend of inspiring stories and practical tools for getting started, getting bigger, and maintaining a healthy personal life.
