Revolutionary Words from Three Millennia of Rebellion and Resistance

The Verso Book of Dissent

"Jarvis makes a compelling case for making your business better instead of bigger. A must-read for any entrepreneur who prioritizes a rich life over riches."&nbsp;&mdash;CAL NEWPORT, bestselling author of DEEP WORK&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &ldquo;You&#39;re not a machine, so why would you run your business like one?&#160;Company of One&#160;shows you another way. If you&#39;ve ever wondered how to have a business that works for you&mdash;instead of the other way around&mdash;you need this book.&rdquo;&#160;&nbsp;&mdash;CHRIS GUILLEBEAU, bestselling author of SIDE HUSTLE and THE $100 STARTUP&#160;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#160;"Growth has been hacked to simply mean &ldquo;more&rdquo;. More revenue, more customers, more employees, more products, more, more, more. That&rsquo;s a tragically myopic view of growth. Paul Jarvis will help you open your eyes to a broader, wiser definition of growth. One of learning, one of betterment, one of contentment. There&rsquo;s never been a more opportune time to launch or run companies that embrace having and being &ldquo;enough&rdquo;. The most important ingredient is a new world view. Company of One can give you just that." &mdash;DAVID HEINEMEIER HANSSON, Creator of RUBY ON RAILS and Founder of BASECAMP&nbsp;&nbsp; "Your business can thrive with less!&#160;Company of One&#160;is an riveting, lucidly written guide to run a successful minimalist business." &mdash;Joshua Fields Millburn, host of The Minimalists podcast&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;The default equation of more = better in business isn&rsquo;t working anymore. If you want to build something that matters, make a difference for your family and the world, and actually enjoy what you do, Company of One offers the inspiration and step by step actions that will change the way you do business, and the way you do life.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;COURTNEY CARVER, bestselling author of SOULFUL SIMPLICITY&#160;&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; "Paul Jarvis beautifully illustrates that &ldquo;Small is the new big.&rdquo; It&#39;s true. It&#39;s not about how many employees you have (or how many customers you serve). It is about &ldquo;who&rdquo; you are working with. This is a revolutionary idea for our times:&#160; build your business based on your values. There&#39;s nothing small about that. This book is a treasure."&nbsp;&mdash;MITCH JOEL, founder, Six Pixels Group, and author of SIX PIXELS OF SEPARATION and CTRL ALT Delete&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Ever since starting MailChimp 18 years ago, I&rsquo;ve always been told that my way was wrong. My way has never been to &ldquo;be big.&rdquo; My way was always to &ldquo;be useful.&rdquo;&#160;My company has become a global brand with millions of customers, over $525 million in annual revenue, and almost 1000 employees united by a single mission to empower companies of one.&#160;Go figure. There&#39;s not one, right way. Only your way. Paul&rsquo;s book can help you find your way.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;BEN CHESTNUT, CEO and founder of MailChimp&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp;"Company of One will give you invaluable insights to focus on the purposeful, interesting, and impactful work you actually love doing, right alongside permission to stop blindly chasing growth by defining success on your own terms. This book is great for freelancers, side-hustlers, and small business owners who are looking to bring autonomy, self-reliance, and creativity to their work without becoming total workaholics.&#160;&nbsp;&mdash;KATHLEEN SHANNON and EMILY THOMPSON, authors/hosts of Being Boss&nbsp;&nbsp; "Paul Jarvis is the savviest sole proprietor I know.

"Quint Buchholz ist unter den Illustratoren so etwas wie der FC Barcelona unter den Fußballvereinen. Mit einem unglaublichen Talent und einem untrüglichen Gespür für Stimmungen und kindgerechte Illustrationen begeistert er seit vielen Jahren kleine und große Leser. Atemberaubend schön!" buchhexe.com, 31.05.2012

"Ich war hingerissen von den zauberhaften Illustrationen von Quint Buchholz. … Traumverloren, still und schwebend sind die Bilder, wie ein leises, sanftes Lied, das ein Kind in den Schlaf wiegt." NDR 1, 24.07.12"Ideale Bettlektüre. … Längst schon ein Klassiker." Bettina Kugler, St.Galler Tagblatt, 10.10.11

"Ein wunderbares Bilderbuch zur Nacht, das durch seine Poesie und seine Bilder einen Zauber ausstrahlt, dem sich kein Kind und auch kein vorlesender Erwachsener entziehen kann." Lovelybooks.de, 19.10.11

"Wer genau sagen und selbstsicher beschreiben kann, was auf den Bildern von Quint Buchholz zu sehen ist, der darf getrost über sich erschrecken. Denn mitunter ist die Gewissheit, etwas gesehen und erkannt zu haben, genau die Falle, in die man fällt - und zwar sehr, sehr lange, bevor man bei der Wahrheit eintrifft. In den Bilderwelten von Buchholz gibt es gar kein Eintreffen. Und auch keine Wahrheit. Es gibt nur ein Farbenleuchten hinein ins Innere der Welt, das geheimnisvoll, unauslotbar bleibt. Weil fortwährend Menschen auftauchen, die auf merkwürdig schöne oder traurige Weise einen Sinn suchen. Buchholz-Bilder sind Theaterstücke im Bühnenbild grenzenloser Fantasie. Die Ruhe, die waltet, ist sanft eingefrostete Bewegung. Der Stillstand ist ein leiser Durchgangsmoment in einem tosen aus purer Heimatlosigkeit. … Seine Bilderbücher erzählen eine ver-rückte Welt. Eine Welt, die aller Ordnung gekündigt hat, auch der Schwerkraft und Logik." Hans-Dieter Schütt, Neues Deutschland Online, 15.10.11

"Ein wunderbares Gutenachtbuch, voller Poesie, Geborgenheit und Ruhe, das tiefe Zuversicht für alles Kommende ausstrahlt. Bester Ausgangspunkt für friedliche Träume." Claudia Goldammer, kinderbuch-couch.de, 17.11.11

"Quint Buchholz ist der Magier unter den Bilderbuch-Künstlern." Susanne Brenner, Saarbrücker Zeitung, 02.12.11

"Eine zauberhafte Bettlektüre." Nürnberger Zeitung, 16.12.11

„Dieses wunderbare, poetische und mit ansprechenden zarten Illustrationen versehene Bilderbuch kann als ein Bilderbuchklassiker seit nunmehr zwanzig Jahren bezeichnet werden. … Ein wunderbares Bilderbuch zur Nacht, das durch seine Poesie und seine Bilder einen Zauber ausstrahlt, dem sich kein Kind und auch kein vorlesender Erwachsener entziehen kann.“ Büchertreff.de, 11.08.2012
