The Four: Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple
Scott Galloway
We highly recommend reading this book. It’s a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Book. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google are the four most influential companies on the planet. Just about everyone thinks they know how they got there. Just about everyone is wrong. For all that’s been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway.Even PM Trudeau is reading it!And if you don’t have time for the full book, check out this podcast in which author Scott Galloway is interviewed.

In America at least, average job tenures have barely changed in recent decades.
