Thank You for Being Late

An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations
Book • 2016
In 'Thank You for Being Late', Thomas L. Friedman explores the three major forces shaping the world today: Moore’s Law (exponential technological development), Markets (global interconnectedness), and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss).

Friedman argues that these accelerations are transforming key realms such as the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics, and community.

He advocates for individuals and nations to be fast (innovative and adaptable), fair (prepared to help those affected by change), and slow (able to reflect and access their deepest values) in order to thrive in this age of accelerations.
