And those were all Ankur Warikoo quotes from Do Epic Shit. It’s not a book of self-help, philosophy or even entrepreneurship. It’s just a book full of random scribbles from Ankur’s life, categorised and arranged.
And as Ankur mentioned right in the first line in the introduction, this book might turn out to be the most useless book you ever bought.
But do give it a read, at least once.
