    Peter Thiel's Zero to One examines how to build innovative companies, drawing on his experiences at PayPal, Palantir, and as an investor.

    The Innovator's Dilemma

    This excerpt from Clayton Christensen's The Innovator's Dilemma examines why well-managed companies fail when confronted by disruptive technological change.

He introduces the concepts of sustaining and disruptive technologies, showing how established firms excel at sustaining innovations but struggle with disruptive ones due to resource allocation processes and value network constraints. The book uses case studies from various industries, including disk drives, excavators, and steel, to illustrate how good management practices can paradoxically lead to failure.

    Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

    This excerpt from Carol S. Dweck's Mindset: The New Psychology of Success explores the impact of fixed vs. growth mindsets on achievement and well-being.

The text uses numerous examples from various fields—sports, business, relationships—to illustrate how these mindsets shape individuals' thoughts, actions, and outcomes. Dweck examines the effects of praise on mindset, highlighting the importance of praising effort over innate talent.
