Wondered how mighty, established companies seem to hand over their kingdom to scrappy newcomers? Well, Clay Christensen has insights that will blow your business mind.</p><p>His theory explains why new technologies that initially suck wind up defeating incumbent products that customers loved. Like Netflix railroading Blockbuster. Or PCs derailing mainframes.</p><p>Here's why: Disruptive innovations are ignored early on when they underperform. But then they gain ground in niche markets. Suddenly the disruptor improves and steals more customers. By the time incumbents wake up, it's too late!</p><p>The Innovator’s Dilemma will shake your thinking on innovation and make you reexamine why great firms fail.

Both experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too.</p><p>The Signal and the Noise outlines how forecasters think and what bonds they share, asking "<em>what lies behind their success?"</em> Is their gift genuine, or can it be attributed to sheer luck? What patterns have they unraveled? And above all else, are their forecasts genuine?</p><p>Available at Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.com/The-Signal-and-Noise-Nate-Silver-audiobook/dp/B009HL6444?crid=37L16K55XGAXY&keywords=The+Signal+and+the+Noise%3A+Why+So+Many+Predictions+Fail--but+Some+Don%27t+-+Nate+Silver&qid=1696596150&sprefix=the+signal+and+the+noise+why+so+many+predictions+fail--but+some+don%27t+-+nate+silver%2Caps%2C239&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=thealliance23-20&linkId=2a133bef50b3b51c915cacb68d0f3e95&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&ref=productmarketingalliance.com" rel="noreferrer">HERE</a></p><p>Kindle: $11.99</p><p>Paperback: $15.57</p><p>Audiobook: $5.95</p><hr><h3 id="38-creativity-inc-overcoming-the-unseen-forces-that-stand-in-the-way-of-true-inspiration-%E2%80%93-ed-catmull-and-amy-wallace">38) Creativity, Inc.

Can we learn by studying them? Can we reverse-engineer “sustainable success?” Not exactly.</p><p>The answers to what makes a sustainable bestseller aren’t in the successful product. The answers are in the successful product’s users. It’s not the product's success that matters most, it’s the successful results of those who use it. Repeatedly. Consistently. Sustainably.</p><p>The answer to a sustainable bestseller is to shift the focus from making an awesome product to making an awesome user of that product. The answer lies in helping users become badass not just at using the product, but at whatever it is the product can help them do and be.</p><p>Some of those answers are surprising, and counterintuitive, but can be implemented by anyone at any stage in a product’s development. Even if you can’t improve your product, you can still improve your user’s experience by designing for what happens after they use it.</p><p>Badass: Making Users Awesome is a course on how to create a context in which users can become more skillful, and, most importantly, stay motivated to keep moving forward. Everything our users experience is part of that context, and even the smallest improvements can have a dramatic impact.</p><p><em>Preview courtesy of the publisher</em></p><p>Available at Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Badass-Making-Awesome-Kathy-Sierra/dp/1491919019?crid=OHK2ZN6NISGN&keywords=Badass%3A+Making+Users+Awesome+-+Kathy+Sierra&qid=1696596227&sprefix=badass+making+users+awesome+-+kathy+sierra%2Caps%2C237&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=thealliance23-20&linkId=a487d095e5d696ecfd03abc94253756d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&ref=productmarketingalliance.com" rel="noreferrer">HERE</a></p><p>Kindle: $18.99</p><p>Paperback: $18.00 </p><hr><h2 id="top-100-product-marketing-books-4150">Top 100+ product marketing books: 41 - 50</h2><h3 id="41-product-marketing-simplified-a-customer-centric-approach-to-take-a-product-to-market-%E2%80%93-srini-sekaran">41) Product Marketing, Simplified: A Customer-Centric Approach to Take a Product to Market – Srini Sekaran</h3><h3 id="-3"></h3><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/content/images/2023/10/Product-Marketing--Simplified--A-Customer-Centric-Approach-to-Take-a-Product-to-Market---Srini-Sekaran.png" class="kg-image" alt="Product Marketing, Simplified: A Customer-Centric Approach to Take a Product to Market – Srini Sekaran" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/content/images/size/w600/2023/10/Product-Marketing--Simplified--A-Customer-Centric-Approach-to-Take-a-Product-to-Market---Srini-Sekaran.png 600w, https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/content/images/size/w1000/2023/10/Product-Marketing--Simplified--A-Customer-Centric-Approach-to-Take-a-Product-to-Market---Srini-Sekaran.png 1000w, https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/content/images/size/w1600/2023/10/Product-Marketing--Simplified--A-Customer-Centric-Approach-to-Take-a-Product-to-Market---Srini-Sekaran.png 1600w, https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/content/images/2023/10/Product-Marketing--Simplified--A-Customer-Centric-Approach-to-Take-a-Product-to-Market---Srini-Sekaran.png 1920w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p></p><p>Have you ever felt frustrated trying to bring a product to market?

Rose exposes the myth of <em>average</em> – that cookie-cutter model of the "typical" customer. Turns out, when you look closer, <em>average</em> is meaningless. No one is actually average.</p><p>Instead, we each have different combinations of strengths and weaknesses that make us unique. Success comes when you optimize for the individual. This shifts everything. </p><p>To resonate emotionally, you have to design for real people, not averages. Understand your customers' unique motivations to solve their struggles. Personalize at scale. Forget mass marketing, it's time for mass personalization. Remove friction and frustrations by tailoring products and messaging to each customer.</p><p>The End of Average is the beginning of outsized growth.

When they do it well, we believe them, and we buy their products. It’s the way the wheel turns.</p><p>But it isn’t a case of bleating about features and benefits until you’re blue in the face.
