Story
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Publisher's summary
*A WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER!*
In this gripping rags-to-riches instant classic, Matt Higgins provides the blueprint he used to go from a desperate sixteen-year-old high school dropout caring for his sick mother in Queens, New York, to a shark on Shark Tank and the faculty of Harvard Business School. Told with raw emotion and radical transparency, Higgins writes the definitive tome on the oldest life hack in history: burn the boats.
From Sun Tzu to Julius Caesar, the ancient Israelites to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, there’s a bold and highly effective tactic seen throughout history—when leaders want to motivate their troops for success, they destroy all opportunities for retreat, and fully commit to the mission. They burn their boats; it’s win or perish, and the clarity of sheer desperation propels them to victory.
But the conviction of crisis decision-making can also be harnessed in peacetime to achieve unfathomable success. Higgins draws upon extensive research, historical precedent, and dozens of firsthand case studies—from actress-turned-entrepreneur Scarlett Johansson to NFL Coach Rex Ryan—that prove merely contemplating Plan B diminishes the probability of ever achieving Plan A. Now a self-made serial entrepreneur with a $1 billion consumer portfolio of some of America’s most iconic brands, Higgins explains how to burn the metaphorical boats that undermine total commitment, ranging from imposter syndrome to paralyzing anxiety to toxic leadership.
Burn the Boats is the manifesto for anyone looking to level up their life while navigating risk. Each chapter includes clear, actionable advice that listeners can immediately start applying to their own lives, along with inspiration drawn from dozens of real-life success stories.
This book will give you the courage to confidently go all in on your life’s true purpose.

With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma shares a rallying cry for all women to “do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again”.

The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

And the only way forward, says Headlee, is to start talking to each other.

One of us!
Initially, I had a bit of a slow start to connect with the book, and then slowly, I started to connect with Matt. I truly felt like he was “one of us” ordinary folks, and he wasn’t given a silver spoon when he was a child. One big takeaway is never to give up, and just because your thoughts and feelings aren’t the same as a majority of people, it doesn’t make it wrong.
Lastly, I loved that his opinions weren’t found in a school textbook or after watching several hours of YouTube videos. His views came from personal experience, which I feel. It’s hard to find a coach or a mentor that isn’t just full of it and only “teaches” instead of practicing what they preach.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Matt does an exceptional job of illustrating exactly where he came from and how he was able to achieve the success he has today. If you’re looking for a business book that motivates you, gives you insight into the world of big business, and shows you what’s possible in this life, then this book is for you.

Inspiring
I found this book when I was already at the end of my journey to burn the boats, so to speak, so I didn’t need the motivation to take that leap. But I have found now that I’ve started up my own business, the stories in this book have inspired me to do more with my business than I had planned in the beginning. And it has given me even more hope and inspiration for the future than I already had.
Here’s to living out dreams and changing the world!

An Engaging and Inspiring Book on Achieving Dreams
I listened to this book via the Audible app, and I found the book very valuable for a number of reasons. Here are a few:
- Matt Higgins' early life was challenging in many ways, which shaped his view of the world. He speaks quite a bit about his Mom and how she set an example related to education that would have a major impact on his life. I appreciate his openness about this and many other personal experiences.
- His experience working with hundreds of entrepreneurs has given him a lot of insights, and from those many relationships, he shares many valuable stories in the book, which I really appreciate.
- As someone who worked in New York City for many years, and who was just about to leave my home on 9/11/2001 for another day of work a few miles north of Ground Zero when I learned of what happened. I have great respect and appreciation for the work that Matt Higgins did as a Press Secretary at that difficult time, and appreciate that he shared some of those experiences.
- One of his guest appearances on Shark Tank led to him and all of the Sharks investing in a product created by a firefighter who lost his life due to 9/11-related exposure. That demonstrated to me how impactful his past experiences as Press Secretary really were.
- His telling of how he proposed and was approved to teach a course at Harvard Business School was truly inspiring, and shows what's possible when you focus on learning from experiences and presenting those lessons in ways that can help others succeed.
- The overarching theme of "Burning the Boats" may seem to go against the idea of having a "Backup Plan," but I've learned that going "All In" with different opportunities during my 30-or-so year career has helped me in many ways to prepare for my next adventure.
- In the PDF that's included with the purchase of the audio version on Audible, there's a video link featuring clips by Arnold Schwarzenegger that includes the quote: "No matter what it takes, I will do the work."
- When I heard Matt Higgins say that he watched every Shark Tank episode prior to being a guest Shark on the show (not an easy feat because there are many Shark Tank episodes!), I felt like he did what it took, and that level of dedication has certainly contributed to his many successes.
- His humble, yet confident style (and great narration) was refreshing, and made me feel as though we were having lunch together and chatting about a wide range of topics. Those are the kinds of books that stay with me for a long time.

The first book any aspiring startup founder must read.
I’ve read a lot of business books as an aspiring entrepreneur but this book is by far the best book I’ve read in the last 5+ years. I’m not even being hyperbolic. The book not only has illuminating case studies, and his own unbelievable origin story, but he also pinpoints the fears, self doubts and offers the remedies for them. Big unlocks in here.
Aside from that he shares invaluable insights that turned my previous untested assumptions and turns them them upside down.
Big takeaways: intuition > data, big leaps > incremental progress, an employee with specialized skills > a co-founder.
Beyond just gems for business, it’s a book about life. His story is inspiring and uplifting and while it’s titled Burn the boats, forget a plan b which is so important/scary/freeing this book is so much more than that concept.
Instant classic and definitely in my revised top 3 books of all time. It’s that good. Get this book and reap the benefits or suffer the pain I’ve endured for years searching for the guidance in here. Not paid to write this, I just hope I can convey the sense of urgency I feel in suggesting this book. Amazing.

A Must-Read Burn the Boats by Matt Higgins
A Must-Read Burn the Boats by Matt Higgins
I am always looking for great books that can provide valuable insights and inspiration. Recently, I had the pleasure of reading "Burn the Boats" by Matt Higgins.
The book is a fascinating and inspiring journey through Matt' experiences as an entrepreneur, investor, and Shark Tank guest judge. His insights on entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership are refreshing, honest, and practical.
The book's central theme, "burn the boats," is a powerful metaphor for the mindset and actions required to succeed as an entrepreneur. Matt' advice to "commit first, figure it out later" is a reminder that taking risks is an essential part of entrepreneurship, no doubt my favorite quote from the book.
Overall, "Burn the Boats" is a must-read for every entrepreneur, investor, and business leader. The book is full of practical advice, inspiring stories, and valuable insights that will help anyone looking to take their business to the next level. I highly recommend it.

Great for seasoned or new founders
I listened to this on my commute and was inspired at his explanation of discomfort as feedback. My favorite takeaway: “When we require a fully baked solution to a problem in order to pursue a goal, we deny ourselves a chance to prove the depth of our ability to perform under duress. problems beget solutions. If you accept the problem with just a vague notion of how to solve it, and if you always maintain a bias toward action, your primitive mind will do the rest of the work for you.
And then, suddenly there you are. You’re in the water and there’s no turning back. “
