In "The Unfair Advantage," Ash Ali and Hasan Kubba disrupt the traditional narratives of success by shedding light on the powerful, often overlooked concept of leveraging one’s inherent unfair advantages. Through the lens of their rich experience, including Ali's pioneering role at Just Eat, the authors dive into the essence of what truly separates the triumphant from the rest. This book is not just about recognizing the unique mix of attributes that gives you an edge—be it swift intellect, unparalleled people skills, or a knack for math—but also about strategically deploying these advantages in the competitive arena of business. With a compelling mix of personal anecdotes and practical insights, Ali and Kubba guide readers through a journey of self-discovery, encouraging them to unearth and capitalize on their latent strengths, and ultimately, to craft their own path to success. Beyond mere hard work and perseverance, "The Unfair Advantage" emphasizes the critical roles of context—money, intelligence, location, education, expertise, status, and luck—in achieving one’s goals. The book offers a groundbreaking framework for evaluating both one's internal capabilities and external circumstances, providing a roadmap for anyone aiming to launch a company, gain market traction, secure funding, or master growth hacking. With its enlightening approach to harnessing one’s unique advantages, this work is an indispensable resource for entrepreneurs and dreamers seeking to navigate the complex landscape of modern business with confidence and strategic insight.

It's not about focusing on the negatives, it's about knowing the realities and leveraging the unfair advantages that we do have to help us live our best lives.
