Book review

Mo Gawdat has form. He is awesome. His book “Solve for happy” is superb. He just published “Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World”. I usually read about six business books simultaneously, but I finished this book in one fell swoop. The book is a fantastic journey through the

Michu Kaku wrote about it in “The future of the mind”. Your mind is a quantum machine, stepping into the multiverses it wants to be in. Multiverses or parallel realities.

Cybernetics and marketing? Yup. I am a fan of Mark W. Schaefer. He wrote “Return on influence“. A book that was ahead of its time.  Hence “Cumulative Advantage: How to Build Momentum for Your Ideas, Business and Life Against All Odds”. With an interesting take on personal branding and marketing.  Cumulative advantage The principle of

Leadership is getting harder as the speed of disruption across all industries accelerates. I picked up “The CEO Test: Master the Challenges That Make or Break All Leaders”. A book with lessons based on six hundred CEOs and other leaders, starting with the weekly Corner Office interview series he created for the New York Times. The

The power of humanity, which has reached a point where we pose a serious risk to our own existence. How we react to this risk is up to us. The problem

The perspectives on transhumanism are very diverse. Through Zoltan Istvan, I was introduced to “TransEvolution: The Coming Age of Human Deconstruction”. A very dystopian view of the world. Mind and crowd control, programming the masses, breaking morale, a strategy of terror, climate change, food and water shortages, tech dictatorship, etc. There is a bigger picture and

Psychological safety is a hot topic in intrapreneurship, innovation, transformation. Gerard Ketelaar of Quaestus recommended “Care to Dare: Unleashing Astonishing Potential Through Secure Base Leadership”. A book that immediately reminds me of “The new leadership literacies” and in some ways of “The Quantum Leader: A Revolution in Business Thinking and Practice“. Everything is energy. Secure

I am a big fan of Zoltan Istvan. I have read all of his novels. Particualrly loved the “The Transhumanist Wager”. Highly recommended. He also wrote “The futureresist cure“. It will open your eyes to transhumanism. It will force you to think about where technology might be going. And take a position as a business and

Ever since I met Edith van den Anker, I have never been the same. Her concept around high vibration leadership brings frequency into the world of business, with amazing results. Frequency: The Power of Personal Vibration She recommended “Frequency: The Power of Personal Vibration”. Everything is vibration and frequency. You can manage your frequency. It
