Books that have shaped how I think

The definitive book on why great companies fail. Christensen's framework for understanding disruptive innovation is as relevant today as when it was written — possibly more so. Essential reading for anyone making technology strategy decisions.

Changed the way I think about decision-making — personally and professionally. The distinction between System 1 and System 2 thinking is something I come back to constantly when advising organisations on strategy.

No other book captures the loneliness and difficulty of leading a company like this one. Brutally honest, practically useful and oddly reassuring. The antidote to every overly polished startup success story.

Dense and demanding, but worth it. Bostrom forces you to think seriously about AI risk in ways that feel increasingly relevant. Not a page-turner, but an important piece of thinking for anyone working in or around AI.
