The Breakthrough Principle of 16x

Richard Koch

Pritchett, LP, 2005

Great point and nice reading
The idea of the 20/80 is one of the biggest ideas of all times. That most of the results (say, 80%) comes from a minority of causes (say 20%). That way, the effectiveness of the 20% most important of causes, is 16 times higher than that of the other 80% (20%/80% ...

The 80/20 Individual: How to Build on the 20% of What You do Best

Richard Koch

Doubleday Business, 2005

Stand-alone, the 80/20 Individual needs not a predecessor
After reading the 80/20 Individual without reading Koch's first book, I can say it is well worth the read on its own. The initial chapters of the book seemed like an autobiography to me and, frightfully, I almost put it down. But the author jumps off this base of ...

Suicide of the West

Richard Koch, Chris Smith

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2007

Stunning
I'm not a kid, but I just had to review this book. This is the best book I have ever read under 200 pages. The consolidation of information and logical, balanced conclusions secured by the authors left me a better man. I was impressed by the writers' ability to ...

The Power Laws

Richard Koch

Nicholas Brealey Publishing Ltd, 2000

The books starts heavy with a lot of theories and nature laws. Pretty interesting but dry for the average business enthousiast. Even the dry stuff though is spiced up with to-the-point examples and practical implementation suggestions. After getting in to his way of ...

The Star Principle

Richard Koch

Piatkus Books, 2008

detailed, compelling info for startups & investors
If you've read 'the 80/20 principal' you'll know how easy to read Koch's style is. And how useful the content. I was skeptical about buying this as I don't (yet) have $1m to invest in buying businesses, which is what I though this book was mainly about. In fact ...
