The Subtlety of Opportunity
By Jeremy Gutsche
"When people miss an opportunity in their own industry, it’s not because they were blind to new ideas. Typically, smart people miss out because new ideas seem awkward and different. To find your breakthrough, you need to better spot the subtle clues that hint toward great ideas."

The Emerging Inequality of Customer Lifetime Value
By Nelson D. Schwartz
“It’s tempting to think that when you call the bank or another financial service provider and you are put on hold for twenty-five minutes, it’s simply because it’s a peak time of day and many other account holders are calling at the same moment. Tempting, but wrong.”

The Disability Advantage
By Al Etmanski
"The ultimate lesson I’ve learned from my journey in the disability community is that life comes from life. It comes from life in every shape, size, and background. Complex lives. Messy lives.

Permanent Disequilibrium: Finance as an Industry of Sabotage
By Anastasia Nesvetailova, Ronen Palan
"It is quite difficult to make sense of finance today by relying on textbook approaches, wherever their intellectual or political affinities may lie. To understand the remarkable persistence and prevalence of rogue behaviour, we returned to the ideas of a school of thought, often ignored nowadays, known as the old institutional economics (OIE)."
The original idea behind ChangeThis came from Seth Godin, and was built in the summer of 2004 by Amit Gupta, Catherine Hickey, Noah Weiss, Phoebe Espiritu, and Michelle Sriwongtong. In the summer of 2005, ChangeThis was turned over to 800-CEO-READ. In addition to selling and writing about books, they kept ChangeThis up and running as a standalone website for 14 years. In 2019, 800-CEO-READ became Porchlight, and we pulled ChangeThis together with the rest of our editorial content under the website you see now. We remain committed to the high-design quality and independent spirit of the original team that brought ChangeThis into the world.
