STARTUP YOUR LIFE:
Hustle and Hack Your Way to Happiness
"Anna Akbari gets right down to business to help you hack your life using the same strategies I used to create products as a CTO in Silicon Valley. It’s the opposite of personal development platitudes, and it works because you can measure it. These are real tools you can use to biohack your performance."
— Dave Asprey, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Bulletproof Diet
"As a client of Anna’s, I am ecstatic that her brilliant strategies for happiness are written down for all to share, and most of all, for me to reference and carry with me everywhere! Anna has created a fascinating guide, applying the paradigm shifting, tried and true organizing principles of Silicon Valley Start-Ups to well-being. As one of the lucky few who has had the chance to work with Anna one-on-one, I can say with total sincerity that her insights will guide you through the ebb and flow of life’s failures and successes, time and time again."

The Enneagram at Work:
Unlocking the Power of Type to Lead
"This masterpiece reminded me that the most neglected fact in business is that we're all human. Yet, so few of us have an operating system to understand ourselves and others. I can't imagine a better book to optimize your self-awareness and leadership. Bravo!"
— Chip Conley, New York Times bestselling author and Hospitality Entrepreneur
