James Sinclair's Starting a StartUp: Build Something People Want is a step-by-step entrepreneurial guide built around a single, unsparing premise: 90% of startups fail not because founders lack effort, but because they build products nobody wants. Designed to prevent that outcome, the book delivers practical frameworks and real-world systems aimed squarely at early-stage founders who cannot afford to waste time on theory. Published by Page Two in September 2025, it draws on Sinclair's two decades of founding companies, achieving multi-million dollar exits, and mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs — plus his experience leading innovation projects at SAP for clients including LinkedIn, Google, and Citi. The result is a guide that positions execution, not inspiration, as the true engine of startup success.

Breaking Twitter: Elon Musk and the Most Controversial Corporate Takeover in History is Ben Mezrich's novelistic nonfiction account of Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter in October 2022 and its chaotic aftermath through February 2023. Published by Grand Central Publishing on November 7, 2023, it is a fast-moving chronicle that Publishers Weekly called a "propulsive tale, well told" — while Kirkus Reviews flagged it as "significantly flawed, but with some important things to say about business in the social media age." The book's power and its central problem are the same thing: Mezrich writes with the pace and texture of a thriller, but openly acknowledges altering timelines, inventing composite characters, and employing satire — making it essential reading for the entertainment-minded and essential-with-caveats reading for those seeking rigorous journalism.
