"Strategies for Addressing Serious Issues in a Connected Society"
Author is an expert in cutting edge media and technology - and was Keynote Speaker at a recent Sport Technology Summit and I was hopeful for nonprofit organization perspective look at methods for fundraising, partnerships and collaboration.

Reich was a WOW!!! speaker, but unfortunately book, while having lots of good stuff, didn't inspire the same in me (more like , ok ... wow at low temperature). Bottom line a worthy read, but not a great one.

Wandering, wordy, and too long. This book is a compilation of personal reflections. Not worth reading.
