I'd buy this book. Always interested in hearing how others get their products to market with regard to work/life commitments, what the balances are, shortcuts to market, first customers, etc.
Check out the indiehackers podcast. It has a lot of interviews with founders working in what I consider more realistic conditions than VC financed ventures.
