【推荐1】Below are the latest books I’d like to recommend:
Title: Zero to One Subtitle: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future Author: Peter Thiel
“Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1.” This excerpt vividly sums up the concept of Thiel’s book. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system, for progress comes from the most important skill: Learning to think for yourself. This bestseller is welcomed by the startup community as it offers precious advice on what to consider and what to avoid before moving forward. Additionally, the author offers his philosophy on business, which helps the reader generate new ideas he or she may not have considered previously. |
Title: ThinkerToys Subtitle: A Handbook of Creative-thinking Techniques Author: Michael Michalko
“By changing your perspective, you increase your possibilities until you see something that you were unable to see before.” This is what you will experience when you use ThinkerToys. This new and different way of seeing things will lead you to new ideas and unique insights. Regarded as a creativity “bible” for startup founders, the author describes the ability to create as a developable one, which can be learned and improved upon much like any other competence. With 33 different exercises and 56 cards that will spark your creativity, ThinkerToys is intended to inspire the innovation monster within. |
Title: Unbroken Subtitle: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption Author: Laura Hillenbrand
47 days of floating on the vast ocean with nothing to eat, 700 days and nights of being tortured as a prisoner of war and more than 1800 days of struggling to forgive definitely make the true story an incredibly unbelievable legend of a man who refused to be broken. There’s a reason why this book is number one on Amazon and a Hollywood motion picture. While entrepreneur isn’t quite the theme of this book, the lessons of personal sacrifice, survival and resistance are. After reading this book your perspective on founding a startup may change because if the main character, Louie Zamperini, overcame the challenges and catastrophes he faced, then so can you. |
Title: Abundance Subtitle: The Future is Better Than You Think Author: Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler
“Humanity is now entering a period of complete transformation in which technology has the potential to significantly raise the basic standards of living for every man, woman, and child on the planet. Within a generation, we will be able to provide goods and services, once reserved for the wealthiest, to any and all who need them.” While this book is impractical to some extent, it raises questions and concerns about current industrial and societal trends and where they will lead in the future. From a startup perspective, the global challenges the authors predict also serve as business opportunities. |
