Publisher's Summary

How to achieve your goals and permanently alter the status quo through the art of self-disruption.

In Disrupt Yourself, innovator and digital media expert Jay Samit reveals how to achieve your goals and permanently alter the status quo through the art of self-disruption. In today's ever-changing and often-volatile business landscape, adaptability and creativity are more crucial than ever. Samit describes how specific strategies that help companies flourish - challenging assumptions, pinpointing one's unique value, and identifying weaknesses in the structure of current industries - can be applied at an individual level.

Incorporating stories from his own experience and anecdotes from other innovators and disruptive businesses - including Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, YouTube, ooVoo and many more - Samit shows how personal transformation can reap entrepreneurial and professional rewards.

Disrupt Yourself offers clear and empowering advice for anyone looking to break through a creative barrier; anyone with a big idea but no idea how to apply it; and anyone worried about being made irrelevant in an era of technological transformation.

This engaging, perspective-shifting book demystifies the mechanics of disruption for individuals and businesses alike.

Great insights

Would you listen to Disrupt Yourself again? Why?

This book can inspire one to look for true use cases that are not immediately obvious or intended. We could all learn from his cunning and innovation, and the ability to kill or pivot an idea.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to it on repeat for a whole month!

Great business book. Fresh perspective

I bought this thinking that it's a personal development book, which it's not. It's a business book about finding new markets/products in modern business. This is NOT a self help book about changing your thinking.

Strange Book

Great quality, yet it was 3 hours of quotes of individuals or studies. I would of really enjoyed if he went through his own experience. Instead he spends 3 hours speaking about how others have disrupted themselves or quotes from the last 2000 years that may be applicable.
