Bold
How to Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World
About the book
Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler's follow-up to Abundance is a guide to using exponential technology and crowd tools to build wealth while helping billions of people. The first part looks at technologies disrupting Fortune 500 companies, including synthetic biology, robotics, 3D printing, sensor networks and artificial intelligence, and contrasts exponential entrepreneurs with linear-thinking executives. The second covers the psychology of bold thinking, drawing on Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Larry Page and Elon Musk, and on lessons from the 15 companies Diamandis has built, among them XPRIZE and Singularity University. The final part explains incentive competitions, crowdfunding campaigns and community building. It reached the New York Times best seller list.
Bill Clinton praised it as a visionary roadmap for people who think they can change the world. Michael Dell called it a sequel to Abundance that every entrepreneur should read, and Eric Schmidt described it as a roadmap for entrepreneurs.

Bill Clinton (Former USA President)
Bold is a visionary roadmap for people who believe they can change the world---and offers invaluable advice about bringing together the partners and technologies to help them do it.
Jim Moffatt (CEO/U.S. Deloitte Consulting, LLP)
BOLD is an essential navigation tool for any proactive CEO who wants to remain relevant. In the next decade it is reasonable to assume that some of the corporations at the top of the Fortune 500 will be displaced by the 'exponential entrepreneur'. History tells us that if we don't proactively change and adapt, change will be imposed on us. BOLD, spells out the implications and opportunities driven by exponential changes transforming our world.
Eric Schmidt (Executive Chairman/Google)
Abundance showed us where our world can be in 20 years. BOLD is a roadmap for entrepreneurs to help us get there.
Padmasree Warrior (CTO/Cisco)
In BOLD, Diamandis and Kotler have written another dazzler. A riveting look inside the world of exponential entrepreneurship—action-packed and action-oriented. I’ve purchased a copy for my entire team at Cisco.
Michael Dell (CEO/Dell Computers)
I loved Peter Diamandis’ and Steven Kotler’s book Abundance, their writing and their Vision. BOLD is an amazing sequel, a book that every entrepreneur should read. It is inspiring, filled with incredible insights and offers a practical how-to game plan for going big and impacting the world.
James Altucher (Founder/StockPickr)
Basically if you want to know the future, read this. Supplement it with “Abundance” by the same two and “Tomorrowland” by Steven Kotler and even “The Rational Optimist” by Matt Ridley. I feel “Abundance” is like a sequel to “The Rational Optimist”. So I’m giving you four books with one recommendation.
