The Remains of the Day

Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies

Author: Jim Collins

This essential book for entrepreneurs reveals some of the secrets to making a company successful and lasting, discussing the importance of employees understanding and wanting to follow the core mission. Bezos said that he was deeply involved in the world created by the author.

Creation: Life and Ho to Make It

Author: Steve Grand

This book talks about daring to create new things and exploring other possibilities, which is something that Amazon has not stopped doing.

“A video game designer argues that intelligent systems can be created from the bottom up if one designs a set of primitive building blocks,” writes Stone. “The book was influential in the creation of Amazon Web Services , or AWS, the service that popularized the notion of the cloud.”

A post shared by Prime Booksellers (@primebooksellers)

This is the autobiography of the founder of Walmart, where he explains how he created his successful company and what are its most important principles, as well as the values ​​​​that have been upheld until now. One of the key points is the openness to try new things and make mistakes, this in order to grow.

The Black Swan

Author: Nassim Taleb

No, it has nothing to do with the Natalie Portman movie. Bezos said that this book provides something very important, an escape.

“The scholar argues that people are programmed to see patterns in chaos while remaining blind to unpredictable events, with massive consequences. Experimentation and empiricism trump the easy, obvious narrative,” Stone said.

The Innovator’s Dilemma

Author: Clayton Christensen

This book explains the importance of innovation with a disruptive character, it is even one of the most recommended by Michael Bloomberg, CEO of Bloomberg.

This was the book that led to the creation of Kindle, under the idea that something new and different is not going to alienate people, but can give you a new business opportunity and end up changing the world. Christensen says that resisting change is a big mistake.
