Pilate’s Magician

is an excellent read. Here’s a recent review from Kurt Harden.

Paper or instant via amazon.

The MBA

The MBA was invented at Harvard in 1908 as a programme for building judgment under uncertainty: put a student in front of a real, undecided, messy situation and make them reason their way to a decision. Over the following century, it lost its nerve and became a library of things to learn. Now – thanks to AI- the library has no walls and no fee. Every framework, every case, every model ever taught sits just intelligent, managed prompts away from you, your competitors, and your competitors' interns.

Knowing has been commoditised. So, more surprisingly, has understanding.

What is left is judgment, and it has never been worth more. It’s a powerful and desperately needed skill.

It’ll be the subject of my new book this fall.

Read, Write and Learn.

They may seem redundant skills but come the revolution, you’ll be equipped.

The primer, Old School is here.

The Tools of Excellence

is a different and powerful way to enhance your daily effectiveness.

Available here.

In The Pipeline.

Novels: Pierre Lambert 2 (working title) progresses well but it’s too early for a likely release date.

Non-fiction: Regular readers will know that a year ago I started a new ‘Companion Series‘. These would be business and personal development and be short. No shorter than necessary but certainly not a word wasted. They would also be available-via kindle-worldwide. And instantly. And at a budget price.

Six titles are out.

This September and October there will be further titles:

Significant updates to my Instant MBA and Love Presenting, Hate PowerPoint. New works on HunterGather 21C; The World of Analogue and Productivity.

Stay tuned.
