Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations by Thomas L. FriedmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.0/5.0 - This has been on my TBR since 2016, right after it first came out. I had previously read his book, The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century, and liked it. Five years later, the book seems a little dated, or at least some of the technological innovations that he was so impressed with, iPhone, AirBnB, Android, LED lighting to name a few, are things we take for granted today. But for Friedman, the world changed in 2007.
The book could be summed up in a few sentences. First community is essential for us to survive and thrive, whether the community is your neighborhood, country, the global community or even the universe. Lifelong learning is something we must embrace at all levels. Finally, universal application of the Golden Rule could solve a multitude of problems.
