he hard truth we need to face up to today is how, in today’s global economy driven by scarcity, we have to create more of what we need rather than spend less of what we have.
I agree with the authors' viewpoint. I also like the example of the rail travel that you provided in your review to explain "moonshot". However, repetition can indeed dissociate an enthused reader. Hence, I will skip this one. Thanks for the review!
Yeah, it's just the repetition that made things a tad bit monotonous. Otherwise, the idea behind the book is truly remarkable.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! :romance-heartbeating:

Inaction is seriously not appreciated by this entrepreneur.
I would enjoy the encouragement to action and concrete ties to the law of attraction. Sounds like the author was able to convey a contagious level of enthusiasm. Thanks for the beautiful review.

I believe that we have great choice and control over the world we create and choose to live in. I think I would like the positive message here.

So true. Being rich doesn't necessarily mean leaving a positive mark on this world we live in.
