The Entrepreneurial Instinct

Monica Mehta’s latest book, The Entrepreneurial Instinct, looks past the rags to riches stories of self-made entrepreneurs to explore how the mind, behavior, and brain chemistry impact ability to be enterprising in the absence of formal training.

Interviews with dozens of entrepreneurs reveal the traits and habits that allow them to take rewarding risks, overcome fear and failure, and thrive in the face of ambiguity. Conversations with experts in the fields of neuroscience and behavioral psychology expose the scientific explanation behind seemingly innate knack to succeed as an entrepreneur and shed light on how the rest of us who may not be naturally gifted entrepreneurs can use brain chemistry to find success.
