“I’m really glad this exists in the world and I can see that I will be recommending it often.”— Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress, founder and CEO of Automattic“If you’ve read Charlie Munger’s Almanack this is the book you deeply crave in its wake. … Learn the big ideas from the big disciplines and you’ll be able to twist and turn problems in interesting ways at unprecedented speeds. … You owe yourself this book.”— Simon Eskildsen“This is what non-fiction books should aspire to be like. Informative, concise, universal, practical, visual, sharing stories and examples for context. Definitely, a must-read if you’re into universal multi-disciplinary thinking.”— Carl Rannaberg“I can truly say it is one of the best books I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting lost in. I loved the book and the challenges to conventional wisdom and thinking it presents.”— Rod Berryman“Want to learn? Read This!
