Thank You for Being Late

His most ambitious book - part personal odyssey, part commonsense manifesto … An honest, cohesive explanation for why the world is the way it is, without miracle cures or scapegoats. And that is why everybody should hope this book does very well indeed – John Micklethwait * The New York Times *Engaging … In some senses Thank You For Being Late is an extension of [Friedman’s] previous works, woven in with wonderful personal stories (including admirably honest discussions about the nature of being a columnist). What gives Friedman’s book a new twist is his belief that upheaval in 2016 is actually far more dramatic than earlier phases. – Gillian Tett * Financial Times *
