"Experts" are the most thoroughly familiar with the developed knowledge inside the prescribed boundaries of a given science. Any new knowledge must usually come from the outside - not from "experts", but from what someone has defined as an "in-pert"

In his interview with “The Entrepreneur” Anthony answered a series of great questions including: “What's a book you always recommend and why?”. His answer was short what makes it even more tempting to read the book.

“I like The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks. It has a similar exploration into the inner workings of the brain, though a bit more morbid.“

All titans, all impressed by this vital book

Here is what all of these titans say about “Abundance” authored by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler.

Richard Branson:

“Abundance provides proof that the proper combination of technology, people and capital can meet any grand challenge.”

Elon Musk:

"Diamandis and Kotler do a masterful job of explaining why we are at the start of a new era of radically increasing standards of living throughout the world. Abundance is essential reading for anyone looking for a better tomorrow."

Arianna Huffington:

"Our world faces multiple crises and is awash in pessimism. Abundance redirects the conversation, spotlighting scientific innovators working to improve people’s lives. The result is more than a portrait of brilliant minds—it’s a reminder of the infinite possibilities for doing good when we tap into our own empathy and wisdom."

Timothy Ferriss:

"Diamandis and Kotler challenge us all to solve humanity’s grand challenges. Innovative small teams are now empowered to accomplish what only governments and large corporations could once achieve. The result is nothing less than the most transformative and thrilling period in human history."

Mark Cuban recommends:

Mark believes that “Mr Putin” is one of those books which can help you to keep up with what’s happening around the world. Indeed every strategic thinker knows how important it is to see a “big picture” when making bold moves. Get this spotlight on the most mysterious and influential leader of our time.

As published by Bookdepository:

“Russia experts Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy argue that Putin is in fact a man of many complex identities. Drawing on a range of sources, including their own personal encounters, they describe six that are most essential: the Statist, the History Man, the Survivalist, the Outsider, the Free Marketeer, and the Case Officer. Understanding Putin's multiple dimensions is crucial for policymakers trying to decide how best to deal with Russia.”

Book summary “The Speed of Trust” by Stephen M.R. Covey

Delivered by Soundview, distributed by University of Colorado:

Trust always affects two outcomes: speed and cost. When trust goes down, speed goes down and cost goes up. Consider the time and cost of airport security after 9/11, or costs for Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, passed in the U.S. in response to Enron, WorldCom andother corporate scandals. When trust goes up, speed goes up and cost goes down. 

Warren Buffett completed the acquisition of McLane Distribution from Wal-Mart on the basis of a two-hour meeting. Because of high trust between the parties, the merger took less than a month and avoided the usual months and millions for due diligence and attorneys.

Bill Clinton recommends:

As published by CNBC:

Before passing away from cancer, neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks wrote a series of essays contemplating life and its meaning. "Gratitude" is a collection of his final work. He writes, "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved. I have been given much and I have given something in return. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure."

One has to investigate the principle in one thing or one event exhaustively... Things and the self are governed by the same principle. If you understand one, you understand the other, for the truth within and the truth without are identical.

Peter Diamandis recommends:

Who is Peter?

This book was a gift to Peter just at the right time. Here’s what he writes in his mind-blowing book “Bold”:

“In 1993, I received a copy of Charles Lindbergh’s 1954 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Spirit of St. Louis. This gift came from my dear friend Gregg Maryniak, who was then hoping to provide the inspiration needed for me to finish my pilot’s license (which I had started and stopped three times for lack of money and/or time). And it worked. I did complete my license, but the inspiration didn’t stop there.“

The Divine Energy is listening to us when we speak to other people, but also when we are still and silent and able to accept solitude as a blessing. And in that moment, Its light illumines everything around us and helps us to see that we are necessary, and that our presence on Earth makes a huge difference to Its work.

In riveting stories, he reveals what checklists can do, what they can’t, and how they could bring about striking improvements in a variety of fields, from medicine and disaster recovery to professions and businesses of all kinds. And the insights are making a difference.“
