** About the Book **
We all sense it - something big is going on. You feel it in your workplace. You feel it when you talk to your children. You can't miss it when you read the newspapers or watch the news. Our lives are speeding up - and it is dizzying.
In Thank You for Being Late, a work unlike any he has attempted before, Thomas L. Friedman exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them.
Friedman's thesis is that to understand the twenty-first century, you need to understand that the planet's three largest forces - Moore's law (technology), the market (globalization) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) - are all accelerating at once, transforming the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics and community. An extraordinary release of energy is reshaping everything from how we hail a taxi to the fate of nations to our most intimate relationships. It is creating vast new opportunities for individuals and small groups to save the world - or perhaps to destroy it.
Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to think about this era of accelerations. It's also an argument for 'being late' - for pausing to appreciate this amazing historical epoch we're passing through and reflecting on its possibilities and dangers. He shows us how we can anchor ourselves as individuals in the eye of this storm, and how communities can create a 'topsoil of trust' to do the same for their increasingly diverse and digital populations.
Written with his trademark vitality, wit, and optimism, and with unequalled access to many of those at the forefront of the changes he is describing all over the world, Thank You for Being Late is Friedman's most ambitious book - and an essential guide to the present and the future.

It's so awesome that Google shares these presentations. This was a good one.
Appreciate it too!
The World is flat.
He spoke for an hour and said nothing of substance
cause ur IQ is on the lower level
This guy’s skill set is to modulate his voice as if he is going to say something profound.
Tom Friedman should be the president of intellectual bullshitters association.
Why is this guy allowed in the company of decent people.
Good one. Suggest to have a similar apps to Ted Talks for "Talks at Google"
Pligraism Of others ideas is not unique book Mr. Freidman
Please explain your reasoning about plagiarism. Why did this man get 3 Pulitzer Prize awards if he's a plagiarist?

This guy is the definition of: hack.
Hes politically one sided and usually stone wrong on everything.
What's the definition of a hack???
waea
TRUMP 2020 !!!!!!!!!
Why???
I'm a 27-year-old who's going back to school, I typed ethics into Google and found this video somewhere in the results. I'm going to buy the book, I can't believe how relevant this feels.
Murphy good luck
Can't believe how disrespectful that front-row guy eating and drinking is...
He´s a good speaker, but I just cannot share that optimism in our future. I think plenty of people will be left out by the coming revolution, no matter what we try.
I.A.! That's it exactly :)
Symantics ✌
And everyone please, follow the golden rule
give that ginger guy some lunch time, my heart breaks , it's like his last meal ever...
Ok
Interesting...one caveat...see or watch Hans Rosling (R.I.P.) of Gapminder...on future demographics on Earth...end of population growth is in progress...the video using the Ikea boxes is the best one!
Vacuous wage-earning joukery-pawkery tradesman that he is.
lf you need to be told the blindingly obvious as if if's something new, this is for you.
