This book was only somewhat interesting. As stated by others here the cover did a great job getting readers and buyers to purchase the book. There are some insights into why people choose to own yachts,but that is one or two chapters. There are some other intruiging topics covered in depth,but not every one had the allure of yachts. There's a long chapter excoriating Trump,which frankly lost my attention.

Reid Hastings compares the coming AI explosion to the trains in the mid 1800's and sewing machines and the Industrial Age that brought us to the present. As a major player and investor,Reid has a vested interest in seeing this technology succeed.The picture he paint is somewhat rosy,but from my perspective it seems bleak and dystopian. These people want us as a whole to be dependent on AI,so they can reap the profit.

I thought there would be more strategies about how to achieve this zen like state,where creativity is enhanced and happiness is found. Instead there are numerous examples of people who have discovered the joy of being in the Flow in their own personal way. This reads like an endless collection of anecdotes and the chapters all seems similar.
