Editor’s Note: I love this simple old fashioned business lesson, reported here by Brodsky in a current situation. Most of my mentoring time is with small business where the temptations to lie are particularly enticing. The most common “lie” is hiding cash from government reporting. I used to lecture them, now I just show them what their business is worth with full tax reporting and how much less it’s worth without.
Editor’s note: This mind blowing work, subtitled “A Brief History of Tomorrow”, gets a bit lost for me because of its ambition to forecast a few hundred years forward. Still there is so much to think about because of this brilliant author’s attempt to put some future form on emerging bio and data science. Essentially he sees the combination of things like artificial intelligence, the “internet of everything” and DNA manipulations putting Homo Sapiens in a position to become Homo Deus (gods). Man, having mostly overcome famine, plague and violence (good data on the truth of that is early in the book) has ever increasing bandwidth and so must inevitably come up with the “next big thing”.
The topic of “what it takes to be an entrepreneur” gets only a little less ink than “what it takes to be a leader”.
