"Lean Analytics is a practical guide and checklist for developing a high-growth start-up. The authors' main premise is that you should find a single meaningful metric, and then run experiments to improve it until this KPI is good enough to move to the next problem (of the next stage) of your business. The book divides into two halves. The first section guides you in working out what you should be doing "“ there's even a useful chapter on deciding what to do with your life and whether you'll actually enjoy doing what you're proposing. It encourages you to have clear goals, experiment, and move through build->measure->learn cycle as quickly and frequently as possible. " Full Review >
