Andrew Yang, the founder of Venture for America, offers a unique solution to our country's economic and social problems--our smart people should be building things. Smart People Should Build Things offers a stark picture of the current culture and a revolutionary model that will redirect a generation of ambitious young people to the critical job of innovating and building new businesses.

As the Founder and CEO of Venture for America, Andrew Yang places top college graduates in start-ups for two years in emerging U.S. cities to generate job growth and train the next generation of entrepreneurs. He knows firsthand how our current view of education is broken. Many college graduates aspire to finance, consulting, law school, grad school, or medical school out of a vague desire for additional status and progress rather than from a genuine passion or fit.

In Smart People Should Build Things, this self-described "recovering lawyer" and entrepreneur weaves together a compelling narrative of success stories (including his own), offering observations about the flow of talent in the United States and explanations of why current trends are leading to economic distress and cultural decline. He also presents recommendations for both policy makers and job seekers to make entrepreneurship more realistic and achievable.

--Dave Gilboa, co-founder and co-CEO of Warby Parker

Paramedic before 12 leads
This was easy to understand and I have read other books that you read 3 or 4 chapters and still know nothing about reading 12leads. I don't have time to spend a week or more trying to learn to read them. I can now feel confident in STEMIs diagnosis!

I am biased here because I love this author.
Dr. Caputti is very detailed in her information while dispersing it in an organized and easy to follow manner. I would recommend anything she publishes as well any conferences at which she speaks to inform RN/PNs of test strategies and how professionals think through patient scenarios.
