The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman

4.0

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.
