Wild Knowledge: Outthink the Revolution

by Anders Indset

Today, we live and do business in a world where society gathers knowledge faster than it gathers wisdom. It is a world of continuous revolution and change. Those who manage to find, structure and exploit the power of "Wild Knowledge" - ie, the untamed data, learnings and experiences that flourish in our lives and minds - will come out the winners. In combination, we need to develop our ability to understand and judge which aspects of that knowledge are applicable to business and life in general. This is the so-called "Vicious Wisdom" which will force you to unlearn, to choose an approach of unthinking, in order to reach a deeper understanding, meaning and reason in your quest to find new and different solutions. This book, written by a leading futurist/philosopher, presents a powerful and radical approach to thinking about and solving our future lives and businesses.

I loved reading „Wild knowledge“, as it is written in a very personal style, more like a blog. It has some great take-away-quotes that will stick in your mind quite a while.

These are my favourite quotes from the book:
Forget the term “work-life balance” once and for all; it is outdated and from my perspective never really existed. There is no distinction between work and life. Everything is a part of your life, and you have to find a way to lead a life that is in balance.
Simplicity in business comes from using common sense and practising empathy.
Progress comes from action; it is the result of simply doing stuff.
If it seems that the world is in control, you are probably not moving fast enough.
Good leaders are not afraid of being nice.
Enjoy it now; tomorrow you will have lost another day.

Have fun, get inspired - and read the book!
