BOLD is a how-to guide that arms entrepreneurs, activists, and leaders with the tools to positively impact the lives of billions while achieving their biggest dreams. The book is divided into three parts: Part One focuses on exponential technologies disrupting Fortune 500 companies; Part Two explores the psychological aspects of bold thinking, including insights from billionaires like Larry Page, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos; and Part Three discusses best practices such as incentive competitions, crowdfunding campaigns, and community building.
In this book, Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler present a contrarian view that the future is brighter than commonly perceived. They document how exponential technologies, DIY innovators, technophilanthropists, and the rising billion (the world's poor empowered by modern communication technology) are conspiring to solve global problems such as access to clean water, food, energy, healthcare, education, and freedom. The authors provide examples and strategic roadmaps for governments, industries, and entrepreneurs to address these challenges, offering a optimistic outlook on the potential for technological innovation to improve human living standards[2][4][5].
In 'Principles: Life and Work', Ray Dalio shares the principles he has developed over his career that have helped him achieve success. The book is divided into three sections: the first section explains how Dalio's principles were formed from his personal and professional experiences; the second section outlines life principles, such as embracing reality, being radically open-minded, and understanding the importance of pain and reflection in personal growth; and the third section focuses on work principles, including the use of radical truth and radical transparency to transform an organization. Dalio advocates for systematizing decision-making into algorithms, learning from failures, and building a culture where it is okay to make mistakes but unacceptable not to learn from them.
This book investigates how the convergence of technologies such as AI, robotics, virtual reality, digital biology, and sensors with 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks will transform legacy industries and every aspect of our lives, including transportation, retail, education, health, entertainment, food, and finance. The authors provide a prescient look at the impending future, highlighting the potential for significant upheaval and wealth creation in the next decade.
In 'Last Tango in Cyberspace', Steven Kotler crafts a near-future thriller that blends cutting-edge technology with traditional cyberpunk elements. The story revolves around Lion Zorn, an empathy tracker with the ability to predict cultural trends and sense future shifts. When Arctic Pharmaceuticals hires him for a routine job, he uncovers a gruesome murder and finds himself entangled in a world of eco-assassins, soul hackers, and consciousness terrorists. The novel explores themes of psychology, neuroscience, technology, animal rights, and environmental concerns, set in a world that is only a few years ahead of our current reality.
Two of the world’s leading futurists, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler, join with Tom Bilyeu for a discussion of the future of technology, culture and the human mind. This future is brighter, wealthier, more abundant and filled with more meaning than most of us could have believed, and it may be coming faster than anyone is prepared for.
