Books recommended by Zack Kanter

Certain to Win
Recommended“I think it's in Chet Richards' book, which is called Certain to Win, a fantastic book. And as it turns out, deciding and acting is implicit. So he says the observation and orientation is explicit, but then once that happens, you decide and act.”

Sam Walton, Made in America
Sam Walton, Made in America by Sam Walton and John Huey is the autobiography of the legendary entrepreneur who founded Walmart.
Recommended“Sam Walton's book, Made in America, it's fantastic. Hidden beneath this veneer of folksiness is this unbelievable story where he just sort of makes it seem like, hey, I woke up out of bed for 40 years, and accidentally Walmart is the biggest company on earth.”

The Art of War
The Art of War by Sun Tzu is an ancient military treatise offering timeless strategic principles on leadership, outmaneuvering adversaries, and conflict resolution.
Discussed“And you hear people talk about Boyd and you're like, God, why are people talking about this? But it's sort of recognized, at least in some circles, is the most substantial contribution to military strategy since the art of war by Sun Tzu 2,500 years ago.”

A Man for All Markets
A Man for All Markets by Edward O.
Discussed“I remember the Ed Thorpe book. My big takeaway from that book, probably something you knew already. But for me, it was the one thing of that book is never invest in anything in which you don't have an edge. So if you don't have an edge in it, don't invest in it.”

-
Ender's Game
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a classic science fiction novel about a gifted child recruited into a rigorous military training academy to prepare for an impending alien invasion.
Discussed“And so, I don't know, I think you've read Ender's Game. So Ender's Game, sci-fi book where all the battles take place in space where there's no up and down. And there's famous quotes, sci-fi quotes from his book about picking the correct orientation.”
Where to get it
-
The Systems Bible
The Systems Bible by John Gall is a satirical yet insightful examination of how systems operate, fail, and evolve in daily organizational life.
Discussed“And generally, we'll go back to the systems Bible book. The army is fully prepared to fight the last war. That basically sums up all advice. This is backward looking.”

Passing 7 Powers
“You have to have the taste to look at a whole menu of strategies and say, this one is right. And this one doesn't work for me. You can't just go out and read seven powers and say, I'm going to do this one. And this is going to be in my business.”
