** About the Book **
We all sense it - something big is going on. You feel it in your workplace. You feel it when you talk to your children. You can't miss it when you read the newspapers or watch the news. Our lives are speeding up - and it is dizzying.
In Thank You for Being Late, a work unlike any he has attempted before, Thomas L. Friedman exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them.
Friedman's thesis is that to understand the twenty-first century, you need to understand that the planet's three largest forces - Moore's law (technology), the market (globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) - are all accelerating at once, transforming the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics and community. An extraordinary release of energy is reshaping everything from how we hail a taxi to the fate of nations to our most intimate relationships. It is creating vast new opportunities for individuals and small groups to save the world - or perhaps to destroy it.
Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to think about this era of accelerations. It's also an argument for 'being late' - for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we're passing through and reflecting on its possibilities and dangers. He shows us how we can anchor ourselves as individuals in the eye of this storm, and how communities can create a 'topsoil of trust' to do the same for their increasingly diverse and digital populations.
Written with his trademark vitality, wit, and optimism, and with unequalled access to many of those at the forefront of the changes he is describing all over the world, Thank You for Being Late is Friedman's most ambitious book - and an essential guide to the present and the future.

in 2007 i came across Tom Friedman's book The World Is Flat

[@MauroRincon]

He´s a good speaker, but I just cannot share that optimism in our future. I think plenty of people will be left out by the coming revolution, no matter what we try.

[@mspeggylee4214]

[@chrikrah]

I feel like I saw a website a while ago that counts the occurrences of people predicting the death of Moore's law. I can't quite put my finger on it though. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

[@SciFiGirl007]

Thomas Friedman always adds understanding and relevance for individuals living in the 21st century. His perspective remind us all of the need to stay in BETA and keep learning at the center of our lives,

[@traslavc]

This guy is the epitome of the concept of "Re-inventing the wheel", captain, no, commander of the obvious.

[@randypotter7442]

[@SylvainChapdelaine]

Interesting...one caveat...see or watch Hans Rosling (R.I.P.) of Gapminder...on future demographics on Earth...end of population growth is in progress...the video using the Ikea boxes is the best one!

[@talkwench340]

Informative, heartening, interesting, funny the list goes on, love listening to this man.

[@Thecaptainblackadder]

This guy’s skill set is to modulate his voice as if he is going to say something profound. Tom Friedman should be the president of intellectual bullshitters association.

[@davidwestwater1914]

Why is this guy allowed in the company of decent people.

[@celestialteapot3310]

lf you need to be told the blindingly obvious as if if's something new, this is for you.

Pligraism Of others ideas is not unique book Mr. Freidman

[@mspeggylee4214]

Please explain your reasoning about plagiarism. Why did this man get 3 Pulitzer Prize awards if he's a plagiarist?

[@mahsudesh]

Vacuous wage-earning joukery-pawkery tradesman that he is.

[@milesteg8627]

This guy is the definition of: hack.

[@irihaschoo8513]

Hes politically one sided and usually stone wrong on everything.

[@mspeggylee4214]

What's the definition of a hack???

[@modestoalvarado9098]
