Resource Recommendations for PE

Hey guys, 

Looking for recommendations for websites, book, articles, podcasts, anything to read upon or listen to about 

1) Thesis creation (I find myself coming up with very generic ones that everyone knows about but I feel like good theses are ones that market misses and this is being hard for me to do)

2) Industry Ideation - especially for PE companies that look at niche ones like Patient Management Systems, etc - not so much Industry I guess verticals within an industry more so

I know there's basic resources online like Investopedia, etc that tell us how to develop and investment thesis and I know that it comes with practice but any resources and advice can help!
