Why Book Futurists?

Ranked #5 on McKinsey & Company’s Top Books on Decision Making

Internationally celebrated disruption strategist Shawn Kanungo offers a playbook for individuals who know they need to become bolder to push their careers and companies forward —but don’t know how to innovate:

You’ll learn where to start, what to do, and how to break through with your ideas. In ten chapters that present the ten pillars to becoming dangerous, you’ll learn the secrets of innovation and human behavior—from recognizing that almost every innovation starts out with resistance to becoming a “deep generalist” (someone who can spot trends in adjacent industries and apply them to one’s own core competencies).

“The Bold Ones unpacks the dna of disruptors, showing us how to make a dent in any field. As compulsively readable as it is actionable, shawn’s innovation playbook is a shot of adrenaline to the career. ”
―Dan Schawbel, New York Times bestselling author
