Bold

How to Go Big, Make Bank, and Better the World

De: Peter H. Diamandis, Steven Kotler

Narrado por: Steven Kotler

Bold is a radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools to create extraordinary wealth while also positively impacting the lives of billions.

Exploring the exponential technologies that are disrupting today's Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from "I've got an idea" to "I run a billion-dollar company" far faster than ever before, the authors provide exceptional insight into the power of 3-D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology. Drawing on insights from billionaire entrepreneurs Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos, the audiobook offers the best practices that allow anyone to leverage today's hyper connected crowd like never before. The authors teach how to design and use incentive competitions, launch million-dollar crowdfunding campaigns to tap into tens of billions of dollars of capital, and build communities - armies of exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today's entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.

Bold is both a manifesto and a manual. It is today's exponential entrepreneur's go-to resource on the use of emerging technologies, thinking at scale, and the awesome impact of crowd-powered tools.

Reseñas de la Crítica

" Bold is a visionary roadmap for people who believe they can change the world - and offers invaluable advice about bringing together the partners and technologies to help them do it." (President Bill Clinton)

Great!

I loved Abundance so this was an autobuy. That book is on my top five to recommend to all entrepreneurs and pessimists. This book showed about reaching past your preconceived limits. Highly highly recommended.

Amazing! Must read!

Absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend it to anyone with a vision and interest in entrepreneurship. Thank you Peter and Steven!

You Will Never Think The Same

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Linear thinking and taking little baby steps leads nowhere fast. In this day and age we have serious issues we are facing and we need creative thinkers to provide innovative solutions. In the past it was very challenging to be a game changer, but Bold does a great job of helping one to realize just how accessible resources are to turn ideas into reality.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bold?

"If your community can provide a legitimate release valve for people's incredibly frustrated passion, you are unleashing one of the most potent forces in the history of the world."

What about Steven Kotler’s performance did you like?

Made it sound like a conversation.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes I wanted to but there is no way I could. I had to take it in doses so that I could internalize the exponential possibilities that this book throws out nonchalantly as if they were common knowledge. The knowledge dropped in this book is all but common.

A book so relevant in this day and age

I sometimes had to stop listening while driving bc the narrating voice was so monotone I wld sometimes zone out. This frustrated me though bc the content is so relevant and so insightful that I did not want to stop listening. Anyway, I still completed the book quickly and I will be buying the printed version of it bc there was too much info to commit to memory. The book and a highlighter will be a must for me.
This man has a brilliant mind and is being led by a good soul.

Fantastically inspiring before disappearing in the weeds

There are three distinct parts in this book, with each beginning at 100km in the air before grounding to the pavement.

The first part is required reading for anyone looking for inspiration or information on the mega trends reshaping our world and the opportunities that presents.

The second is for those who need the mental tools to grasp the exponential opportunities presented by these mega trends.

The third part, and arguably the weakest or strongest depending on your interest, is a how to guide at leveraging the crowd to execute on those opportunities.

It's inspiring stuff, that is partly let down in later chapters of each part by somewhat monotone narration of the increasingly more list and memo orientated writing style.

It's a minor complaint of an otherwise excellent listen that perhaps simply reflects the enthusiasm and density of the material on offer here that the authors are determined to convey.

I'll be revisiting this one often.

Read Bold. Think Bold. Be Bold.

I'm a big fan of Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler. Abundance and The Rise of Superman were two of my favorite reads last year. These guys are cutting edge and inspiring. Every time I listen their work I want to rise up and get busy being Bold, being Abundant, being Superman.

Brilliant!

Warning: For big-thinkers only! Inspiring & practical. So pleased to have read this gem. Thank you!

Phenomenal

Excellent overview of the ways to achieve major societal change on a shoestring budget. Really inspiring. I recommend this highly.

An important contribution to the world, thank you

i especially enjoyed the sections on bold mind sets, the case studies and the inspiring call for moral leadership at the end.

Awesome book !!

I used to feel like the dinosaur in the initial section of the book, until I went to the portion where it gives you strategies to deal with Psychological challenges and mental mindset.

It's an awesome book for everyone in the traditional brick and mortar business !!
