We often talk of war and conflict, the economy, culture and revolutions as if they are something other than us. But all these things are a product of us - of our ideas, our dreams and our fears. We live in extraordinary times, and the changes we' re experiencing now, in these first decades of the twenty-first century, feel particularly poignant as decisions are made that will inform our existence for years to come. What started out as a personal interest in the mechanisms that inform our views of the world and a passion for understanding has grown into a phenomenal compilation of once-in-a-lifetime conversations. In this incredible collection, Shah shares some of his most emotive and insightful interviews to date.
"From entrepreneurs to athletes, and world leaders to entertainers, this is a fascinating collection of interviews with some of the world' s most influential individuals. " --Mark Cuban "Stimulating, intelligent and enjoyable discussions of the most important issues of our day. " --Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of Enlightenment Now "The remarkable thing about Thought Economics is that it isn' t just thought-provoking, but genuinely thought-generating. It is a watershed in our understanding, and our understanding of understanding. Vikas Shah hasn' t just moved the needle, he' s fashioned an excitingly new one. " --Dexter Dias QC, human rights lawyer and author of The Ten Types of Human
