Life is a use-it-or-lose-it proposition. Shouldn’t you spend it doing something you love? This book will teach you how to find your dream job and avoid a career you’ll regret—from a leading venture capitalist, based on his viral college talk. “Fantastic. A variety of useful insights and examples that converge into one story that underlies remarkable success in nearly any field: The relentless hunger to learn about the thing you love.”—James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits For many young people, the path to success feels like a conveyor belt—onto the next test, the next application, the next college—without ever stopping to ask what do I actually want to do with my life? Parents know the pressure can be overwhelming, yet the system pushes everyone forward anyway. After college Bill Gurley landed a job at a famous tech company. It should have been a dream come true—but he was surprisingly bored. So, Gurley leapt into the unknown, eventually finding his place in the world of venture capital, the beginning of a remarkable investing career. It turns out, Gurley’s happy ending is rare. Nearly six in ten people would do things differently if they could start over. This is the trap of “career regret.” So how can we avoid it? What can we learn from people at the top of their fields who love what they do? The culmination of Gurley’s decade-long project to unpack the components of success, Runnin’ Down a Dream identifies six principles to flourish in your chosen career: the antidotes to career regret. From developing “obsessive” curiosity to the art of building strong peer groups, these timeless principles add up to a playbook not just for success, but a purpose-filled life. Written in Gurley’s straight-talk voice and revealing the captivating stories of industry titans like talent agent Lorrie Bartlett, restaurateur Danny Meyer, and sports executive Sam Hinkie, Runnin’ Down a Dream will inspire a new generation to find their place in the world, while offering a much-needed rebuttal to the idea that hustle and happiness are incompatible.

'Sir Ken Robinson shared with us that children are not problems to be fixed, but wonders to be cultivated. He was a beloved friend and a fearless advocate for human potential envisioning a world where children can grow and thrive.&nbsp; This book continues to be an inspiration.' Goldie Hawn 'Words that I know to be true, still ringing in my ears for the last 20 years. And now as a mother, more than ever. I hope for the sanity of the planet one day his dream will become the norm.' Imogen Heap "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sir Ken Robinson Widely recognised as one of the most inspirational books on the importance of creativity and its necessity, not just in education and business, but in society, Out of Our Minds is a masterclass in human potential. Sir Ken Robinson, who sadly passed away in 2020, was an internationally recognised leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human resources and a New York Times bestselling author. His Ted talk 'Do Schools Kill Creativity?' is the most viewed Ted talk of all time with over 80 million views. Out of Our Minds challenges misconceptions that only special people are creative or that creativity applies only to the arts. The book shows how the rigid academic hierarchy - with mathematics at the top, arts at the bottom - wastes enormous talent. Drawing on examples from Fortune 500 companies and schools worldwide, it demonstrates how standardized testing prevents creative development. Now with the help of Sir Ken's daughter, Kate, Out of Our Minds has been updated in this special 25th Anniversary edition which also explores: <ul> <li>How artificial intelligence and rapid technological change make creativity essential for personal security and economic prosperity, not a luxury</li> <li>Why neurodiversity awareness demands education systems that accommodate different ways of thinking rather than requiring conformity through medication</li> <li>Practical strategies for leading cultures of innovation in organizations, moving beyond performative training days to systemic transformation</li> <li>The case for transforming - not merely reforming - education to help individuals discover their unique talents and lead meaningful lives</li> </ul> Essential reading for educators, business leaders, managers, parents, and policy makers, Out of Our Minds provides the framework needed to create systems that develop rather than suppress human creative potential. In an era of accelerating change, this book offers a radically different approach to human intelligence.

Will we one day inhabit virtual worlds? From the buzz around Second Life in the early 2000s to Mark Zuckerberg's much-hyped quest for the Metaverse, there seems to be a clear pattern. After being touted as revolutionary, virtual worlds fail to meet expectations and fade into obscurity. Yet the dream of an immersive, independent, and interconnected virtual social universe still has the potential to transform the economy, reshape society, and profoundly affect the future of humanity. This book contends that despite shifting trends, the virtual universe remains crucial to the technology of tomorrow--and might arrive sooner than we think. Through vivid examples and detailed case studies, Andreas Kaplan, a pioneering researcher of virtual worlds since the early 2000s, provides a comprehensive examination of the Metaverse and its far-reaching implications. He delves into key technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and extended reality and discusses ethical issues around privacy, identity, and governance. Kaplan examines business models, digital ownership, and corporate strategies alongside applications spanning marketing, research and development, human resources, and supply chain management. The book concludes by contrasting potential futures, from utopian promise (the Petaverse) to dystopian peril (the Metaworse) and everything in between. Written in an engaging, reader-friendly style, The Virtual Universe goes beyond the hype--and the doubting--to uncover the true potential of the Metaverse.
