@shubham_pratap I prefer paper variation but when I bump into some pdfs, I will share in DM. 😉
Books that share insights from successful companies can be a valuable resource for anyone looking to learn from others' experiences and apply those lessons to their own business ventures. By examining case studies and real-world examples, you can gain a deeper understanding of what makes successful companies tick, and use that knowledge to inform your own strategies and decision-making.

@pedro_de_la_nube Thank you, Pedro! 😇 Feel free to share your favorite books.
This is a fantastic question!
For what it's worth if you haven't read it, I recommend checking out "Good to Great" by Jim Collins!
This wonderful book presents the findings of a five-year study by a research team. They identified public companies that had achieved consistent success after years of mediocre performance and isolated/identified the factors that differentiated those companies from their lackluster competitors
It goes really deep on what differentiates truly great companies and I refer to it often as a tool for what to focus on in my own company!
Hope this helps! Looking to add many of these to my list too!

@buse_basar Which of all of those businesses are appealing to you the most? 🙂
@busmark_w_nika I'm curious about all of them, but most of all, Apple,Google, Instagram, Mc Donald quartet excites me and makes me curious.
Nika - thanks for sharing the list. This is a great list, I've learned a lot from Zero to one (Peter Thiel) and Behind the cloud (Marc Benioff).

@shivam_mahajan1 Also, Richard Branson is such an inspiration. I would recommend his book "Losing Virginity" as well. 🙂
@busmark_w_nika he definitely is, and the book sounds interesting, I’ll check it out! :)
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
Just finished Shoe Dog last week and then watched ‘Air’ in cinema. For anyone who hasn’t watched it yet, go watch it now!!!!

@busmark_w_nika let’s do it! Just watched ‘Air’ yesterday and it was sooo good!
Amazing list! For me the best is Zappos: Delivering Happiness!
