  We all need to think more like entrepreneurs. Seeking and seizing opportunities, boldly taking risks, quickly changing course-achieving success today requires the kind of action-first, fake-it-'til-you-make-it ethos celebrated in the tech industry. 
   
  This formula is not typically a female one. Women tend to be cautious. We overthink our next moves, become paralyzed by fear, and simply don't act. We might be safer…but we're also stuck. 
   
  But, what if women embraced the startup model? What if we had the confidence to take chances, even if we knew we may fail fabulously? What if instead of agonizing over which step to take, we leapt forward quickly? Fearless and Free empowers women, showing us how we can all use lessons from Silicon Valley to pivot in our careers-and unlock a world of possibilities. 
   
  Author Wendy Sachs talked to a wide range of women who faced down fears, roadblocks, and failures…to reinvent themselves. Spanning industries and ages-from media maven Jill Abramson to Aminatou Sow of the Tech LadyMafia-the book weaves their insights and experiences together with current research and actionable advice. You'll learn how to: 
   
  Capitalize on your skills and expand them • Grow comfortable with being uncomfortable • Sell your story • Engineer serendipity • Nurture your network • Shake off setbacks • Brand yourself-without bragging • Build momentum • Compete with digital natives • And more 
   
  Being disciplined is no match for being disruptive. Whether you want out of a shrinking industry or into a business of your own creation, Fearless and Free helps you dream big-and act now.

  After billions of dollars and fifty years of effort, researchers are finally cracking the code on artificial intelligence. As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented change, Jerry Kaplan unpacks the latest advances in robotics, machine learning, and perception powering systems that rival or exceed human capabilities. Driverless cars, robotic helpers, and intelligent agents that promote our interests have the potential to usher in a new age of affluence and leisure-but as Kaplan warns, the transition may be protracted and brutal unless we address the two great scourges of the modern developed world: volatile labor markets and income inequality. He proposes innovative, free-market adjustments to our economic system and social policies to avoid an extended period of social turmoil. His timely and accessible analysis of the promise and perils of artificial intelligence is a must-listen for business leaders and policy makers on both sides of the aisle.
