Thank Your for Being Late; An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations

201681251New York N.Y.: Farrar Straus and Giroux 2016. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Good/Very good. Ralph Alswang author photograph. 10 486 pages. Illustrations. Some pencil notes to text observed. DJ is price clipped. Signed by the author on the half-title page. Includes Acknowledgments and Index. Also includes Part 1: Reflecting; Part 2: Accelerating; Part 3: Innovating; and Part 4: Anchoring. Also includes Acknowledgments and Index. Thomas Loren Friedman born July 20 1953 is an American political commentator and author. He is a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner who is a weekly columnist for The New York Times. He has written extensively on foreign affairs global trade the Middle East globalization and environmental issues. In this work Friedman begins by sharing a conversation with a fellow blogger who also happened to be working as a parking attendant. The unlikely pair ended up spending time together as Friedman helped the blogger refine his process. This led to his own deeper reflection on defining his conceptual framework that underpinned his writing. He took a year's sabbatical to research and produce this book encapsulating what he discovered. Reviews<br/>John Micklethwait CBE editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News who reviewed Thank you for Being Late for The New York Times wrote that this is Friedman's "most ambitious book - part personal odyssey part common-sense manifesto". Friedman is a "self-confessed 'explanatory journalist' - whose goal is to be a 'translator from English to English' and this book is "a master class in explaining." This book is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to write and think about this era of accelerations. It is also an argument for "being late"--for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we are passing though and to reflect on its possibilities and dangers. To amplify this point Friedman revisits his Minnesota hometown in his moving concluding chapters; there he explores how communities can create a "topsoil of trust" to anchor their increasingly diverse and digital populations. With his trademark vitality wit and optimism Friedman shows that we can overcome the multiple stresses of an age of accelerations--if we slow down if we dare to be late and use the time to reimagine work politics and community. This is Friedman's most ambitious book--and an essential guide to the present and the future. Derived from a Kirkus review: The celebrated New York Times columnist diagnoses this unprecedented historical moment and suggests strategies for "resilience and propulsion" that will help us adapt. "Are things just getting too damned fast" Friedman cites 2007 as the year we reached a technological inflection point. Combined with increasingly fast-paced globalization and the subsequent speedy shocks to our planet's natural system we've entered an "age of accelerations" that promises to transform "almost every aspect of modern life." The Pulitzer winner puts his familiar methodology-extensive travel thorough reporting interviews with the high-placed movers and shakers conversations with the lowly moved and shaken-to especially good use here beginning with a wonderfully Friedman-esque encounter with a parking attendant during which he explains the philosophy and technique underlying his columns and books. The author closes with a return to his Minnesota hometown to reconnect with and explore some effective habits of democratic citizenship. In between he discusses topics as varied as how garbage cans got smart how the exponential growth in computational power has resulted in a "supernova" of creative energy how the computer Watson won Jeopardy and how without owning a single property Airbnb rents out more rooms than all the major hotel chains combined. To meet these and other dizzying accelerations Friedman advises developing a "dynamic stability" and he prescribes nothing less than a redesign of our workplaces politics geopolitics ethics and communities. Drawing lessons from Mother Nature about adaptability sustainability and interdependence he never underestimates the challenges ahead. However he's optimistic about our chances as he seeks out these strategies in action ranging from how AT&T trains its workers to how Tunisia survived the Arab Spring to how chickens can alleviate African poverty. Required reading for a generation that's "going to be asked to dance in a hurricane.". Farrar, Straus and Giroux hardcover

Thomas Friedman". Acknowledgments and Index. Also includes Part 1: Reflecting; Part 2: Accelerating; Part 3: Innovating; and Part 4: Anchoring. Also includes Acknowledgments and Index. Thomas Loren Friedman born July 20 1953 is an American political commentator and author. He is a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner who is a weekly columnist for The New York Times.

In this work Friedman begins by sharing a conversation with a fellow commentator who also happened to be working as a parking attendant. The unlikely pair ended up spending time together as Friedman helped the commentator refine his process. This led to his own deeper reflection on defining his conceptual framework that underpinned his writing. He took a year's sabbatical to research and produce this book encapsulating what he discovered. John Micklethwait CBE editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News who reviewed Thank you for Being Late for The New York Times wrote that this is Friedman's "most ambitious book — part personal odyssey part common-sense manifesto". Friedman is a "self-confessed 'explanatory journalist' — whose goal is to be a 'translator from English to English' and this book is "a master class in explaining." A field guide to the twenty-first century written by one of its most celebrated observers. We all sense it-something big is going on. You feel it in your workplace. You feel it when you talk to your kids. You can't miss it when you read the newspapers or watch the news. Our lives are being transformed in so many realms all at once-and it is dizzying. In Thank You for Being Late a work unlike anything 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 and cushion their worst impacts. You will never look at the world the same way again after you read this book: how you understand the news the work you do the education your kids need the investments your employer has to make and the moral and geopolitical choices our country has to navigate will all be refashioned by Friedman's original analysis. Friedman begins by taking us into his own way of looking at the world-how he writes a column. After a quick tutorial he proceeds to write what could only be called a giant column about the twenty-first century. His thesis: 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 accelerating all at once. These accelerations are transforming five key realms: the workplace politics geopolitics ethics and community. Why is this happening As Friedman shows the exponential increase in computing power defined by Moore's law has a lot to do with it. The year 2007 was a major inflection point: the release of the iPhone together with advances in silicon chips software storage sensors and networking created a new technology platform. Friedman calls this platform the supernova -for it is an extraordinary release of energy that 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 to destroy it. Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to write and 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 to reflect on its possibilities and dangers. To amplify this point Friedman revisits his Minnesota hometown in his moving concluding chapters; there he explores how communities can create a topsoil of trust to anchor their increasingly diverse and digital populations. With his trademark vitality wit and optimism Friedman shows that we can overcome the multiple stresses of an age of accelerations-if we slow down if we dare to be late and use the time to reimagine work politics and community. Thank You for Being Late is Friedman's most ambitious book-and an essential guide to the present and the future. Farrar, Straus and Giroux hardcover
