Bitcoin: Sovereignty & Independence

Knut Svanholm

Summary

Through clear and elegant writing, Knut Svanholm takes us on a philosophical journey to explore the new language of money that Bitcoin creates, while never losing touch with what is happening in the world.

Using metaphors and examples, Knut Svanholm highlights the shortcomings of the old boxes we have been operating within. He urges us to critically examine them, challenge them, and envision a future where we exercise greater autonomy over our lives, both financially and socially.

This book is provocatory and it needs to be. It's hard to imagine something we've never experienced, and it's hard to picture a different reality from the one that we are so immersed in. The author forces us to face this reality and confront our own behaviors. He exposes the rigged coercion game we're part of and shows us how bitcoin can take us out of it if we accept the challenge.

Bitcoin is not something you believe in, but something you need to understand and define for yourself. "Sovereignty & Independence" in its striking simplicity is a pleasure to read and will help you do just that.

Perfect Pitch - The Art of...

While many books exist on the subject of presentations and persuasion, there are none tailored specifically to the needs of the advertising industry, where the currency is that of ideas, rather than physical products. Perfect Pitch provides valuable lessons from inside and outside the advertising industry in the art of presenting creative ideas and new business pitches in a more engaging and effective manner.

Emily Sander

One insight or one piece of advice at the right time can change everything. If your goal is to grow as a high-level leader, you’ll find this book packed with “hacks” that can permanently change the way you think, live, and lead. For instance: •                The secret of the “swizzle”—using divergent thinking to apply your ideas, experience, and skills in new ways. •                How three circles can help you know when to keep your cool and when to (productively) lose it. •                Why Pete Carroll made the right call—even though it cost the Seahawks the Superbowl—and how that can transform the way you think about failure today.  •                Worth-the-price-of-admission hiring and recruitment hacks, including which “little things” you must pay attention to and which ones you should ignore. •                Twenty “play calls”—strategies, tools, mindsets, and tricks for becoming the kind of leader you want to be.  After years of aggressive self-improvement, C-Suite Executive and ICF-Certified coach Emily Sander has distilled all her insights from a decade and a half of leadership and coaching experience into this short, easy-to-read book.
