The Hard Thing About Hard ThingsHorowitz publishes The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers, a collection of writings based on his blogs and drawing inspiration from rap artists. Horowitz says he isĀ  inspired by Andy Grove’s Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis Points That Challenge Every Company to expand on the real issues entrepreneurs face.
