I come from a long line of engineers. I grew up in Southern Nevada and I have visited several nuclear test sites. This book by Peter Kuran is currently out of print. Hard cover copies go for around $500 and then the softcover around $300. I will get it someday but it remains an unnecessary expense for now. What books have my fellow bookworms wanted for the longest time??

Ive heard people talking and raving about this for years. Finally read it.and now I know why. Has anyone read it? How did you apply it to your life?

I know there is a dedicated app for the applying the philosophy of some books. There are a few for GTD.

What other books do you think would make a good app?

Just curious 🤔

I’m looking specifically for books (obviously non-fiction) that discuss the process in which the rights were lost. The society before and the changes/steps that lead them to this reality.

Hopefully this makes sense!! I just want to learn more about what the process of this downfall looks like. Thank you!

I posted this in another sub but thought I might get some different recommendations here. Looking for books to satisfy my itch for unhinged nonfiction

.

I've put together a mind map that aims to summarise the key learning points I had from the book Crucial Conversations: Tools For Talking When Stakes Are High. I hope this helps you!

I'm keen to learn how I can improve the structure of this mind map for my future summaries, so please give any suggestions you might have!

Disclaimer: obviously all of the ideas I laid out here are not my own, they belong to the authors of this book (Kerry Patterson, Stephen R. Covey, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler)

I just finished Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War. It was great but bloody hell it was a tough and depressing read. I won't spoil it, but no amount of prepping is going to save you if someone's mad enough to push the button.

I enjoyed it, in a way, but am now looking for something a bit more optimistic? Not only because I feel like I've been bludgeoned by the threat of nuclear apocalypse, but also because generally the world seems like a horrible place right now.

Any recommendations for something that'll leave me feeling hopeful for humanity?

With 2 weeks remaining from my new book Undisrupted releasing, I wanted to provide an overview of the challenge the book addresses, The challenge is "change in the present and our inability to forecast the future without using the right strategic foresight tools". Undisruptedis about how we as humans have always thrived because of disruptive ideas. From the days of archimedes to the current era of Artificial Intelligence, change has been a prevalent force for us to do better, make progress and achieve greatness. This is the reason why we have medications that treat measles, transport that hepps us travel from one corner of the world to the other, and now our ability explore space. The book is about human progress and how technology is changing the future. In specific areas such as Healthcare, Transportation, Education, Automotive and many others on a path of rapid change. The book covers what these changes are and what the next decade and more look like. The second part of the book is about how to become future ready and I introduce readers t the idea of the Futuer Readiness Score, a new metric that I created. I believe the book is a great read for anyone wants to know about where things are headed and how to combat this change. We also have some early readers copies available but generally the book is also available to be purchased from bookstores online.

I would love to hear from you about

• - How much of your current planning and thinking is about 10 to 15 year out ?
• - How are you measuring or understanding what skills, strategies you need to succeed 10 - 15 years from now
• - If you have a copy of the book, happy to hear your thoughts overall

Currently reading this and would file it under non fiction horror so far.

Hey Folks,

Curious for your thoughts on this idea....

Recently I was thinking of the idea of asynchronous book clubs. I have no idea if these exist but I thought it might be cool if they did.

My definition of an asynchronous book Club would be:

• Everyone starts and stops at the same time but you can read at your own pace.
• You can leave comments, audio and video that is connected to specific points in the book. So that when someone gets to a spot they can see what others in the club are thinking about it.
• At the end of the session there will be a live meetup to discuss the book.

Thoughts?
