"When you find the right thing to do, when you find the right people to work with, invest deeply."

"We like to think of our champions and idols as superheroes who were born different from us. We don’t like to think of them as relatively ordinary people who made themselves extraordinary."

"No matter what your ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment."

"This is something I know for a fact: You have to work hardest for the things you love most.'

"I don’t mind losing as long as I see improvement or I feel I’ve done as well as I possibly could."

"Genius is not enough; we need to get the job done."

"Those with the growth mindset found setbacks motivating. They’re informative. They’re a wake-up call."

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Dr. Carol S. Dweck explores the powerful impact of mindset on our lives.

From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

"All things being equal, people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like, and trust."

"The most valuable skill you can develop is the ability to see the world from another person's perspective."

"When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity."

"Persuasion is not about manipulating others to get what you want. It's about bringing others to your way of thinking by showing them the benefits to themselves."

"When you make others feel important, you gain an almost magical ability to influence their actions."

“Blue ocean strategy is not about being first to market. Rather it’s about being first to get it right by linking innovation to value.”

“Simply put, there is no substitute for meeting and listening to dissatisfied customers directly.”

“A focus on the competition too often anchors companies in the red ocean, and puts the competitors, rather than the customer, at the core of strategy.”

“Blue ocean strategy is not about finding a better or lower-cost solution to the existing problem of an industry. Instead, it is about redefining the problem itself.”

“An effective blue ocean strategy has three complementary qualities: focus, divergence and a compelling tagline.”

“A thriving blue ocean strategy is built on more than differentiation and low-cost in its value proposition. It must align value, profit, and people propositions so that each reinforces the others.”

Blue Ocean Strategy, Expanded Edition

"If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will."

"Only once you give yourself permission to stop trying to do it all, to stop saying yes to everyone, can you make your highest contribution towards the things that really matter."

"The Essentialist deliberately distinguishes the vital few from the trivial many, eliminates the nonessentials, and then removes obstacles so the essential things have a clear, smooth passage."

"Multi-tasking is not the enemy of productivity. The real enemy of productivity is saying yes to the wrong things."

"We can either make our choices deliberately or allow other people’s agendas to control our lives."

"Essentialists see sleep as necessary for operating at high levels of contribution more of the time."

Essentialism by Greg McKeown is a guide to simplifying life by focusing on what truly matters and eliminating non-essential activities.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done.   Featuring the new Essentialism 21-Day Challenge • “A timely, essential read for anyone who feels overcommitted, overloaded, or overworked.”—Adam Grant   Have you ever: • found yourself stretched too thin? • simultaneously felt overworked and underutilized? • felt busy but not productive? • felt like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?   If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.    Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.   By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy—instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.   Essentialism is not one more thing—it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

“Indecision and procrastination are twin brothers. Where one is found, the other may usually be found also.”

“Do not wait. The time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”

“When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.”

“Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them.”

"The most valuable businesses of coming decades will be built by entrepreneurs who seek to empower people rather than try to make them obsolete."

"The most important determinant of startup success is not the market, the product, or the team—it’s the founder."

"Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply than genius."

“If your product requires advertising or salespeople to sell it, it’s not good enough: technology is primarily about product development, not distribution.”

"The perfect target market for a startup is a small group of particular people concentrated together and served by few or no competitors."

“You’ve invented something new but you haven’t invented an effective way to sell it, you have a bad business—no matter how good the product.”

Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel is a thought-provoking guide to innovation and entrepreneurship.

WHAT VALUABLE COMPANY IS NOBODY BUILDING? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. It’s easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there. ‘Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.’ ELON MUSK, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla ‘This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.’ MARK ZUCKERBERG, CEO of Facebook ‘When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.’ NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB, author of The Black Swan
