The Google Guys: Inside the Brilliant Minds of Google Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin by Richard L. Brandt (PDF)

Description

How much do you really know about Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin? The Google Guys skips past the general Google story and focuses on what really drives the company’s founders. Richard L. Brandt shows the company as the brainchild of two brilliant individuals and looks at Google’s business decisions in light of its founders’ ambition and beliefs. Larry is the main strategist, with business acumen and practical drive, while Sergey is the primary technologist and idealist, with brilliant ideas and strong moral positions. But they work closely together, almost like complementary halves of a single brain. Through interviews with current and former employees, competitors, partners, and senior Google management, plus conversations with the founders themselves, Brandt demystifies the company while clarifying a number of misconceptions.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐As an experienced hardware focused engineer I have not followed any of the buzz about google. I have used google for many many years and find the tool useful for doing engineering research and solving technical issues. So reading this book helped me understand much more than I knew about how google is managed and guided.PROEasy to read Easy to UnderstandGood basic information for those wanting to know about googleLike Google 101CONBook did not make me want to work at google (at least the book seems to indicates a youth focused company that does not seek many experience technical people)OVERALLA good read and I enjoyed it. A good place to start if you are interest in understanding Google

⭐I liked the attitudes of founders Larry and Sergey until the reference about Google’s quest for ‘search customization ‘ extended into user email. Google, in 2019, is the ‘cloud’; storing everyone’s information and metadata. Google’s products, from search to email to maps to Android are delightful.This is a good story. I recommend it to the tech community.

⭐Brandt does a very good job of reviewing the past and present, and the good and bad procedures and processes that Google has been and is using to maintain the excitement of a startup and to recruit and keep the “brightest and best” of employees. An excellent book with an insiders view of a very successful company.

⭐It is interesting to read how Sergey and Larry run google and still get involved with subjects outside of their primary business. You can easily see that these two guys are brilliant. The one negative I had with the book was that it did not go very far into the personal lives of the founders.

⭐Helped me to see some of the principles of success that has fueled Google. I especially like their emphasis on workers getting outside their own projects to work on other projects of interest, and the emphasis on small interest groups moving things forward.

⭐ok

⭐starts promisingly, with its breezy narration of Larry and Sergey’s early years, how they came together while in university and how they managed to get two top venture capitalists to back them on their terms to start the mother of all internet companies

⭐Reading a book that was not only printed upside down but also back to front! Weird!

⭐Interesting back story and early years but the rest of it is 10 years out of dateDidn’t realise it was published in 2011, so much has changed since then.The book comes across as a cheerleading book on the founders. Some occasional criticism to appear to balance it out but it’s very lightweight. The founders come across as some of the greatest gifts to humankind and everything painted in a very kind light to Google

⭐Interesting read

⭐Good, but not as good as richard brandt’s one on jeff bezos. In depth, detail about how larry and sergey got going.

⭐It was a great book I don’t think I have heard or read anything like it.It was a great book I highly reccomened you read it

⭐This book provides a good summary of Google’s history, but only until early 2000’s. Quite outdated in many areas.
