The Unusual Billionaires

Saurabh Mukherjea, bestselling author of Gurus of Chaos, tells you why focusing on the core business is central to corporate success and how a promoter giving up control to the top management could be a boon. He also explains how investors can generate market-beating investment returns from identifying companies such as these using a simple set of metrics.

This is another POWERFUL book of insights and lessons packed inside a fun journey into the next decade, and beyond. I would recommend this book to anybody, even those who may fear the future. Peter and Steven don't just only write about the future, they demonstrate a healthy mindset that everyone can use to analyze their current situations, their everyday life in 10 years, and even the fate of technology.

As indispensable as it is gripping, The Future Is Faster Than You Think provides a prescient look at our impending future.
