Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World (Exponential Technology Series)

“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

“BOLD is an essential navigation tool for any proactive CEO who wants to remain relevant. In the next decade it is reasonable to assume that some of the corporations at the top of the Fortune 500 will be displaced by the ‘exponential entrepreneur’. History tells us that if we don’t proactively change and adapt, change will be imposed on us. BOLD, spells out the implications and opportunities driven by exponential changes transforming our world.”
—Jim Moffatt, CEO of U.S. Deloitte Consulting, LLP

“Abundance showed us where our world can be in 20 years. BOLD is a roadmap for entrepreneurs to help us get there.”
—Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman, Google

“If you read one business book in the twenty-first century, this should be the one. When Peter and I cofounded Singularity University, we based it on the ideas of exponential change and ‘learn by doing.’ This book clearly explains how to apply these concepts to change the world and overcome the age old afflictions of human civilization.”
—Ray Kurzweil, inventor, author, director of engineering at Google, Chancellor of Singularity University

“In BOLD, Diamandis and Kotler have written another dazzler. A riveting look inside the world of exponential entrepreneurship—action-packed and action-oriented. I’ve purchased a copy for my entire team at Cisco.”
—Padmasree Warrior, CTO & Chief Strategy Office, CISCO

—Michael Dell, CEO, Dell Computers

—Kirkus

“This is a manual for today’s big thinkers to become tomorrow’s bold leaders, using crowd-powered tools accessible to everyone.”
—Booklist
