I enjoyed this book a lot. It was a little long but on audio you can blow through it in week. What I liked most was the author's push to be more transparent and honest in all our digital interactions. All of our mistakes will be searchable. It reminds of the scripture in Luke 12:3 that says, "Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops." Also, the need to develop special, hybrid skills and to not be vanilla flavored in our jobs anymore.
Now I know where the A word [a:Tim Ferriss|14901716|Tim Ferriss|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] learned how to outsource his soul to India. I didn't realize there was a 3.0 edition until I was in the middle of this book. Darn. I wonder what more he would add for a 2016 edition of the book.
It could have been better without his rant against President Bush at the end. Other than that it was very informative.

Another is a set of books that all came out at similar times that bring economics to the masses in a day-to-day analysis. You will forever remember the highlights when you go shopping.

loved it, really interesting and thought provoking. Read for a class in high school and I still can remember some of the very interesting points the book made

This was the opposite of [b:Shop Class as Soulcraft|6261332|Shop Class as Soulcraft An Inquiry Into the Value of Work|Matthew B. Crawford|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255606925s/6261332.jpg|6444549] in nearly every way. Stylistically, it was long and hard to read, but very well sourced with quotes and examples. The core arguments were also different, in that Friedman is all about state intervention, control, and responsibility.

Very accessible book. I could see the various points unfolding through the narrative. His comparison of radical islam to leninists is blatantly obvious... after reading it. Overall excellent book.

a fascinating read... good to pick up occasionally & read a chapter or so at a time. Or,that's how I'm reading it!
took me a while to finish but an absorbing book with a lot to say about globalization, trade and education in the world today.

As always with books where the author is obsessed with his theory, everything is molded to fit it, even things that don't.
