Underdog Nation
What can a U.S. Marine teach you about business? In Underdog Nation, former combat pilot Quang X. Pham reveals how the military's underdog ethos is the ultimate advantage in entrepreneurship. Through powerful principles like the "30-Second Complain-and-Fix Rule" and "Commander's Intent," he provides a battle-tested playbook for building resilient teams, leading with integrity, and thriving in the chaos of the modern marketplace.
Outliers
In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell dismantles the myth of the self-made success. Through fascinating case studies—from Canadian hockey players to Bill Gates—he demonstrates that success is rarely just about raw talent. Instead, it is the product of hidden advantages, cultural legacies, and extraordinary opportunities to practice (the 10,000-Hour Rule). By understanding these systemic factors, we can better engineer environments where success is not an accident of birth, but a cultivated outcome.
Famous Nathan
Famous Nathan traces the rags-to-riches tale of Nathan Handwerker, the penniless Polish immigrant who parlayed a five-cent frankfurter stand on Coney Island into Nathan’s Famous—an enduring icon of American fast food. Written by his grandson Lloyd Handwerker, the book blends family memoir, oral history, and cultural reportage to show how grit, marketing flair, and an unwavering quest for the “perfect” hot dog embodied—and complicated—the American Dream.
The Ride of a Lifetime
In The Ride of a Lifetime, longtime Disney CEO Bob Iger recounts his ascent from studio assistant to the helm of one of the world’s most beloved brands. Mixing behind-the-scenes stories—Pixar’s make-or-break merger, Marvel’s unlikely courtship, the birth of Disney+—with hard-won lessons on creativity, courage, and integrity, Iger offers a candid leadership blueprint for anyone determined to build culture, embrace change, and bet boldly on the future.
