So that’s what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box. Written for anyone who wants to grow at work―from young grads navigating their first jobs to CEOs deciding whether to sell their company― Build is full of personal stories, practical career advice and fascinating insights into some of the most impactful products and people of the 20th century. Each quick 5-20 page entry builds on the previous one, charting Tony’s personal journey in product development from a product designer to a leader, from a startup founder to an executive to a mentor. Tony uses examples that are instantly captivating, like the process of building the very first iPod and iPhone. Every chapter is designed to help readers with a problem they’re facing right now―how to get funding for their startup, whether to quit their job or not, or just how to deal with the jerk in the next cubicle. Tony forged his path to success alongside mentors like Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell, icons of Silicon Valley who succeeded time and time again. But Tony doesn’t follow the Silicon Valley credo that you have to reinvent everything from scratch to make something great. His advice is unorthodox because it’s old school. Because Tony’s learned that human nature doesn’t change. You don’t have to reinvent how you lead and manage―just what you make. And Tony’s ready to help everyone make things worth making. Get unorthodox, old-school advice on the tough stuff: Building Your Career: When is the right time to quit your job, how do you find a mentor, and how do you deal with the jerk in the next cubicle? Product Storytelling: Learn how to craft a compelling narrative for your product, a lesson Tony learned directly from watching Steve Jobs build the story for the iPhone. From Idea to Exit: Go inside the moments of devastating failure and unbelievable success, from getting funding for your startup to deciding when to sell your company. Disruptive Innovation: Understand why you don’t have to reinvent everything from scratch and how Tony’s old-school advice helped create some of the most impactful products of our time, including the iPod and iPhone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,732 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #27 in Computers & Technology Industry #30 in Decision-Making & Problem Solving #46 in Entrepreneurship (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,775 Reviews | ## Images ![Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hP6RPS8eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***R on May 4, 2022* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***E on July 9, 2022* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***M on June 23, 2022* ## Frequently Bought Together - Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making―Personal Journey from Product Designer to Mentor - Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love (Silicon Valley Product Group) - Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/388698925-build-an-unorthodox-guide-to-making-things-worth-making](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/388698925-build-an-unorthodox-guide-to-making-things-worth-making) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
