karralde: Es un libro muy inspirador. Las herramientas que ofrece son relativamente sencillas, pero más que eso, contribuye a generar cierta "mentalidad exponencial" que es lo mejor del libro. Lo recomiendo sobre todo para personas que quieren iniciar sus proyectos emprendedores.

H. SebastianH. Sebastian: Another „WOW“ book written by the duo Diamandis / Kotler on the topic mtp (massive transformative purpose). Both authors encourage us (as described in three parts of the book covering „bold technology“, „bold mindset“ and „bold crowd“) to find our MTP by thinking not only „outside the box“, but stop limiting our thoughts and ideas by (conventions & other) frontiers.
The ever increasing speed of new technologies (in exponential ways) give powerful tools to make your ideas come true, feats which were limited to the rich and powerful (e.g. royalty in the past, then governments or multinational companies) can now be done by individuals or small groups, as described in the first part. The middle section explains how to develop a mindset to set the scene for our world changer, do not to get stopped by failures or limits („think bold“), the final part is describing how to use the power of the „online crowd“ by presenting how to successfully build your own community which supports your ideas.
In general, the enthusiasm is field and the idea of helping people finding their MTP resp. purpose in changing the world is really jumping on you while...

MG: "Bold" is one of the most thought-provoking business books I've read in a long time. Most of us know how the information age and the internet has up-ended the industrial age, and I think I'm savvy to the implications and opportunities, but I learned several valuable tools that I previously did not know even existed.

The book opens with a lesson, and this sentence I highlighted: "Thus, on April 9, 2012, just three months after Kodak filed for bankruptcy, Instagram and its 13 employees were bought by Facebook for $1 billion."

How does that happen. Kodak was obviously positioned to lead on digital photography; they even had developed some of the early technology. But they lacked vision, they had hubris, they worried about losing all that film and chemical business. They did not see the forest for the trees. We see that now. But most do not see it still happening today. Jeff Bezos had the vision for Amazon. It wasn't about books long-term; it was about everything. Today, look at Amazon and look at the long-dethroned Sears catalog. The difference is taught and/or reinforced in this book. Co-Author Diamandis is currently executive chairman of Planetary Resources, a company...

Bart Motes: Bold is an audacious and interesting book. I heard an interview with co-author Steven Kotler on Ted Ryce's Man Project podcast and decided to check out the book. Bold's central premise seems pretty trite: that big goals are within everyone's grasp and that by dreaming big we can accomplish great things. The difference is that the authors seem to really believe in this premise and have put it into action in their own lives. Co-author Peter Diamandis is responsible for one of the most awesome projects I've ever heard of--mining asteroids in space. Now, we've all heard of this, and ok, big whoop, it's a moonshot, to borrow the authors' phrase, why do I need to read the book? (Or in my case, listen to, since I bought the book on audio cd, which I recommend, because I suspect the sometimes repetitive nature and heavy use of anecdotes works better as an orally told story then on the written page, explaining some of the negative reviews.)

Well, it was only when I listened to Diamandis and Kotler tie together new, big emerging technologies and their rationale that I understood why mining asteroids was a big deal. The mining of the asteroids is only part one of a much bigger plan to...
