Andy Dunn

In this "gripping" (TechCrunch), "eye-opening" (Gayle King, Oprah Daily) memoir of mental illness and entrepreneurship, the co-founder of the menswear startup Bonobos opens up about the struggle with bipolar disorder that nearly cost him everything. "Arrestingly candid . . . the most powerful book I've read on manic depression since An Unquiet Mind."--Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of WorkLife ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022--Forbes At twenty-eight, fresh from Stanford's MBA program and steeped in the move-fast-and-break-things ethos of Silicon Valley, Andy Dunn was on top of the world. He was building a new kind of startup--a digitally native, direct-to-consumer brand--out of his Manhattan apartment. Bonobos was a new-school approach to selling an old-school product: men's pants. Against all odds, business was booming. Hustling to scale the fledgling venture, Dunn raised tens of millions of dollars while boundaries between work and life evaporated. As he struggled to keep the startup afloat, Dunn was haunted by a ghost: a diagnosis of bipolar disorder he received after a frightening manic episode in college, one that had punctured the idyllic veneer of his midwestern upbringing. He had understood his diagnosis as an unspeakable shame that--according to the taciturn codes of his fraternity, the business world, and even his family--should be locked away. As Dunn's business began to take off, however, some of the very traits that powered his success as a founder--relentless drive, confidence bordering on hubris, and ambition verging on delusion--were now threatening to undo him. A collision course was set in motion, and it would culminate in a night of mayhem--one poised to unravel all that he had built. Burn Rate is an unconventional entrepreneurial memoir, a parable for the twenty-first-century economy, and a revelatory look at the prevalence of mental illness in the startup community. With intimate prose, Andy Dunn fearlessly shines a light on the dark side of success and challenges us all to take part in the deepening conversation around creativity, performance, and disorder.

Just thirteen months before the opening match of the 2014 World Cup, Brazil has been declared fi nancially bankrupt and has no alternative other than to withdraw from hosting the tournament. Faced with this unprecedented emergency, the thoroughly inept yet ruthlessly tyrannical President of the Global Confederation de Football, Horst Gasch, and his obtuse sidekick, Senior Vice President, Serge Le Planque, must fi nd another host nation...and fast. Both are zealous Anglophobes and are desperate to maintain their strategy of staging the tournament anywhere in the world ...except England. Meanwhile, due the death of the local MP in extremely sordid circumstances, Alan "Boots" Boothroyd, football fanatic and manager of Sunday league team, overcomes a personal crisis by deciding to run for Parliament. After becoming sensationally elected, Boots stumbles across the debaucherous nocturnal pursuits of the country's senior politicians. Armed with information that could bring down the government, Boots ingeniously maneuvers himself into an extraordinary position within the dark, sinister corridors of Westminster. On the fi eld, the English football team is in total disarray. Coached by a hapless manager and deprived of key players by the Premier League manager's policy of "club before country," the national team has suffered defeat after defeat in the matches leading up to the World Cup. When the tournament fi nally begins, Horst Gasch and the hierarchy of the Global Confederation de Football deviously conspire to engineer a humiliating exit for England. In response, Boots decides to fi ght back and do whatever it takes for England in her quest for a "Second Star" above the Three Lions Crest.
