Reviews

[David]

this book is ok half a day read on advising to watch out and look out for the surroundings...but nothing inspiring us about searching for the truth relentlessly..such as how this world is run by Illuminati/Freemasonry, etc...by understanding Illuminati/Rothschild/Freemasonry are more fun and all the dots are now connected...then no need to buy this kind of books anymore..in conclusion: don't buy this book..

[Alexandru]

Rather disappointing. Or may be not intended for readers with some knowledge of behavioral economics. The book is right about its main ideas, but t it is rather easy obvious and shallow. As well the fact that it was published in 2010 makes it old or out of trend using the book ideas. Because many things changed since 2010.

Good quick handbook for building up a way of thinking within innovation. Easy! Love these types of people/authors!

[Zeyad]

Nice book about exploring different possibilities. highlighting how we should act to gather as much information as we can to draw full picture about trends in our life.

[Hatem Kotb]

Different than any other thing I've read.

[Elisa Vivancos]

This is a fresh and inspiring book that focuses on going to the sources and being critical with all around us (news, media,...) even with our way of thinking. It is a good trendspotter manual!

It really has good writing and helped me open my eyes to a wider perspective to the world. Good tool for narrow-minded and/or curious people.
