Overview

Thank You for Being Late establishes a blueprint for how to think about our times.Author, Thomas L. Friedman’s book shows that we have entered an age of dizzying acceleration–and explains how to live in it.

How do these changes interact, and how can we cope with them?

Friedman concludes that nations and individuals must learn to be fast (innovative and quick to adapt), fair (prepared to help the casualties of change), and slow (adept at shutting out the noise and accessing their deepest values).
