The best book I have read on VUCA so far.

In fact till now, I always thought how one can avoid VUCA. This book prepped me to not just embrace it but proactively look out for it. For the way to bigger better changes in life that push you up, VUCA is the only way.

The story-style fashioned by the author to drive home big-fat-heavy messages is an absolute hit too in my opinion.

An absolute must read.

This a book about adventure, taking risks and pushing yourself to the limits of what you can do. It’s also about building trust and deep community with other people. Great story telling and good book on leadership and personal growth.

I think this helps out into context real life situations and how to handle them with the VUCA model. Worth the read to help with perspective.

Such a wild and adventurous life Jeff has lived. Met him at a conference and he talked about his adventure and the strength and resilience needed.
