The best lessons that I took.
Books that I strongly recommend.
NATHAN FURR + JEFF DYER
The Innovator’s Method
“There are two types of uncertainty that influence a firm’s ability to create a customer: demand uncertainty (will customers buy it?) and technological uncertainty (can we make a desirable solution?).”
TIMOTHY FERRISS
The 4 Hour Work Week
“Gold is getting old.
The New Rich are those who abandon the deferred-life plan and create luxury lifestyles in the present using the currency of the New Rich: Time & Mobility”
SUN TZU
The Art Of War
“Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.”
W. CHAN KIM + RENÉE MAUBORGNE
Blue Ocean Strategy
“Blue ocean strategy challenges companies to break out of the red ocean of bloody competition by creating uncontested market space that makes the competition irrelevant.”
COSTAS MARKIDES
Game-Changing Strategies
“Discovering (or creating) new market space (that is, innovation!) should be the goal and ambition of every company.”
DEEPAK CHOPRA
The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success
“Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals.”
JOHN DOERR
Measure What Matters
“Leaders must get across the why as well as the what. Their people need more than milestones for motivation. They are thirsting for meaning, to understand how their goals relate to the mission.”
PETER HINSSEN
The Day After Tomorrow
“The biggest challenge for companies won’t come from the outside world. It will be to change the dynamics inside their organizations in order to match the speed of flow on the outside. Unfreezing age-old hierarchical command-and-control mechanisms won’t be easy.”
PEDRO DOMINGOS
The Master Algorithm
“We’re face-to-face with our old foe: the combinatorial explosion. Therefore we do what we always have to do in life: compromise. We make simplifying assumptions that whittle the number of probabilities we have to estimate down to something manageable. A very simple and popular assumption is that all the effects are independent given the cause."
ED CATMULL
Creativity, Inc.
“The takeaway here is worth repeating: Getting the team right is the necessary precursor to getting the ideas right."
URI LEVINE
Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution.
“The next generation of entrepreneurs will make an even bigger impact, because they have more to rely on and there are more experienced entrepreneurs who can guide them."
SALMAN KHAN
Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education
"How good these systems can get is usually related to the complexity and architecture of the underlying "model." Think of a model as a computational representation that tries to mimic or simulate something in the real world."
