1)New Power: How It's Changing The 21st Century - And Why You Need To Know
For most of human history the rules of power were clear: power was
something to be seized, and then jealously guarded. Under this 'Old
Power' we lived in a world of rulers and subjects. Now, we all sense
that something has changed. From #metoo to Harvey Weinstein; Corbyn to
Trump; from YouTube sensations to darker phenomena such as the emergence
of ISIS – in our new hyper-connected world, ideas and movements can
spread and flourish with astonishing force and speed. In New Power,
Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms confront the biggest story of our age
and trace how New Power is the key to understanding where we are and
will prosper in the 21st Century. Drawing on examples from business,
politics, popular culture and social justice, as well as case studies of
organisations like LEGO and TED, they explain the forces that are
changing the course of our age. In a world increasingly shaped by New Power, this book will show you how to shape your future.
2)Zero to One: Note on Start Ups, or How to Build the Future
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.
3)Corporate Chanakya
A pioneer of economics and political science in India, Chanakya was one
of the most brilliant, tactful and shrewd economists and strategists of
the Mauryan Era. Building the entire Mauryan Empire can be attributed to
Chanakya's witty principles and out of the box strategies. The modern
day world is a witness to innumerable business empires which need
effective management to remain at par with growing competition. The
author makes use of the aphorisms or sutras proposed in Chanakya's book
called Arthasastra (Economics), in the management and functioning of
modern day businesses.
4)Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of Spacex and Tesla is Shaping Our Future
Bullied in school and scolded tremendously by his father, Musk was actually a brilliant student and his life story is nothing less than a drama packed film. Ashlee Vance’s brilliant description of Musk's character, simple language and neat choice of words indeed makes this book a great read.
