A Page From the 25th Edition of the Book Festival of the MJCCA Presents Thomas L. Friedman, Author of Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations

Book Talk, Q&A, and Signing 

In his most ambitious work to date, Thomas L. Friedman shows that we have entered an age of dizzying acceleration-- and explains how to live in it. Due to an exponential increase in computing power, climbers atop Mount Everest enjoy excellent cellphone service and self-driving cars are taking to the roads. A parallel explosion of economic interdependency has created new riches as well as spiraling debt burdens. Friedman concludes that nations and individuals must learn to be fast (innovative and quick to adapt), fair (prepared to help the casualties of change), and slow (adept at shutting out the noise and accessing their deepest values). With vision, authority, and wit, Thank You for Being Late establishes a blueprint for how to think about our times.
