What was said
"If you had the time and you could be locked in a room and read 6 books, if you read that, you will be able to predict 100% of things that happen in technology without fail. You'll know every competitive move that people are going to make. You'll know why markets do the things that they do."
Levie claims that reading Seven Powers, Positioning, Innovator's Dilemma, Innovator's Solution, Blue Ocean Strategy, and either Crossing the Chasm or Inside the Tornado will enable founders to predict competitive dynamics with complete accuracy. He states this with unusual confidence, calling it one of the rare things he's overconfident about. However, he admits these books didn't fully prepare him for predicting the AI market due to external factors like government regulation and China.
