Power is shifting - from large, stable armies to loose bands of insurgents, from corporate leviathans to nimble start-ups, and from presidential palaces to public squares. But power is also changing, becoming harder to use and easier to lose. As a result, argues award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy editor Moisés Naím, all leaders have less power than their predecessors, and the potential for upheaval is unprecedented.

Takes too long to get to “So What”

Most of the book is a collection of research findings on where power is declining. Only the very last chapter was insightful on the “so what”

Very little substance
Revisado: 11-02-17
Author shares nine elements of good presentations, e.g. being visual, keeping it short, telling stories. He then spends a book full of text to try and explain why all that is important. Almost no information on how to actually do it, almost no practical advice.
The most useful part was references to very good Ted talks. I then looked those up on TED.com and watched them to learn something.

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains.

Excellently written, excellently read!
Revisado: 06-14-17
The author thoroughly researched this book and had access to diaries and to the survivors. I have not been so hooked to a book in years!
Sometimes I felt there was a little too much detail, as I was eager to learn what would be next, yet the detail made me feel as if I was really observing what went on, on this incredible journey!
