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.

Fine, nothing amazing

Book is fine with some interesting topics covered, but nothing truly groundbreaking. Links disruption well to the value chain

This book is packed with stuff

This book is so packed with stuff it’s a bit overwhelming, I’m not entirely sure if it achieves anything as a finished article - other than reminding us that all things move towards entropy and this can be an opportunity. There is a vague notion towards application, but quite honestly it feels like the ramblings and anecdotes of a madman.

Excellent book! Fascinating & inspiring

Jay Samit’s story reads like the Forest Gump’s of technology. He seemed to have been at every turn of digital advancement and come across all the top players in digital technology at the turn of the century. This book lit up a lot of light bulbs for me. I will be getting a hard copy for highlighting & reference.

6 stars if I could

6 stars if I could. Really enjoyed this book. Read it straight after 'news from nowhere' by William Morris and loved them both... my friends say I'm confused.
