I have this stack of books, and honestly I've got to get to this stack and choose from among them. The book I started reading and put down was How Google Works by Eric Schmidt. I was fascinated by the first five or so chapters, but I had to put it down.

There’s a lot of good stuff in there about how technically focused the company is and how they empower people to make bottom-up decisions.I do wonder how much of that is the way Google actually works versus the way they want Google to work, but it’s influenced my thinking regardless.

Co-Founder/Askable

After reading How Google Works I just became fascinated with Google culture and I hope to understand a bit more about what unique things they're doing right that we aren't.

How Google Works is a good insight to a large corporate in the tech world.

"I’m a technical guy. I studied the IT field and did software development for a long time until I discovered the business world. So the path for me is to slowly adapt from the clear, technical world, to the fuzzy, way more complex, business world. All the books that I recommend help this transition. “How Google Works” - Eric Schmidt & Jonathan Rosenberg: for understanding a product, a team and a company and their interactions."

CEO/Upswing

Given that we work in this fast-changing environment, I think anyone who wants to start a career in digital marketing (SEO and content in particular) should cultivate his/her capacity to constantly learn, experiment and innovate. How Google Works is just for that. How Google Works is not about the technical functioning of its services, but how this culture inside the company influence its products.
