TIMEFULNESS - Why Successful...

Amir Peled

TIMEFULNESS isn’t just a book, it’s a revolution in THINKING.
Amir Peled explores a hidden facet of greatness: TIME. Timefulness reveals how luminaries like Benjamin Franklin and Steve Jobs harnessed time to craft monumental success. It’s a manifesto for those ready to convert fleeting moments into a durable legacy.
Discover the Einstein Effect, Peled’s blueprint for wise decision-making based on humanity’s innate ability to make wise choices when time is unmistakably at stake, even in life’s most challenging terrains. Here’s a sneak peek:
· A Five-Step Plan drawing on eternal sagacity, emulating the Serially Successful—from Confucius to Elon Musk.
· Strategies to weave the Einstein effect into your daily victory march.
For devotees of behavioral insights à la Atomic Habits and Outliers, Timefulness introduces a novel lens on the mastery of time, life and success. More than a book, it’s a movement, forging the serially successful within YOU.
AMIR PELED, in his book Timefulness, condenses the concept that captured the attention of hundreds of thousands during his record-breaking TV appearance on the Israeli version of Shark Tank. There, he presented the digital implementation of Timefulness, based on two US patents he filed, and was dubbed “The Israeli challenging Google” on prime-time media. His lifelong research and career, spanning biotech, high-tech, and academia has fueled his global vision for a more timeful world—a world where everyone can achieve serial success. A native of Israel, Peled’s global perspective is further enriched by his life in Odense, Denmark, where he resides with his partner, Orit, and their three children.
