The tension highlighted in this meta-review of both @karenhao.bsky.social's & @keachhagey.bsky.social's books about Sam Altman — between innovation speed and safety — echoes the core #WhatMattersNextbook principle of meaningful human-centered progress. Great read.

Sam Altman is a visionary with a trustworthiness problem
Two books tell a similar tale about OpenAI. It is worrying

Reading #CarelessPeople by #SarahWynnWilliams and having to restrain myself from making a side-by-side reading guide for #WhatMattersNextbook in case anyone chooses to read them at the same time. (You should.) Here is just one of many passages in CP that hit quite a few overlapping themes with WMN:
book quote image: "It’s a growth-at-all-costs approach. To me, it seems like a very American thing. When Alexis de Tocqueville visited the US in the nineteenth century, he was on a rickety steamboat that hit a sandbar and capsized, and he nearly drowned. Afterward he found the manufacturers and asked them why they didn’t make the vessels safer. They explained that technological innovation in America happened so quickly there was no point; by the time they made the necessary changes, the boats would be obsolete anyway. Better just to take a chance on what you have. If some drown, no need to dwell, safe in the knowledge that something better is just around the corner. That cheerful recklessness combined with passivity, that forward motion without introspection, that’s what [the global growth] team has.” from "Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism" by Sarah Wynn-Williams https://a.co/3hWyoLq

“When you surrender the narrative, you surrender the future.”

Wonderful insights at @framelab.bsky.social — very in line with #WhatMattersNextbook 👏

Carville’s call for Democratic retreat is a losing strategy. To counter authoritarianism, Democrats must fight, reframe, and lead—not surrender.

My book page had a glow-up! My KO Insights team and the Wiley team had put together these Amazon "A+" assets quite a while ago but I guess they just finally got approved or something. In any case, want to help celebrate by picking up a copy? :) a.co/d/6I5SmLZ

🚀 Excited to share this fantastic Inc. article where @hennapryor.bsky.social breaks down a key concept from #WhatMattersNextbook:
The future isn't singular—it's a spectrum of possibilities. Smart decision-making starts with understanding that.
