{"product_id":"9781770107687","title":"The Upside of Down","description":"New edition with updated content. \n\n In a world shaped by Covid-19 and characterised by fake news, manipulated feeds of information and divisive social-media agendas, it's easy to believe that our time is the most challenging in human history. It's just not true.\n\n \n\n It is a time of extraordinary opportunity. But only if you have the right mindset and attitude. Fear of the future breeds inaction and leads to strategic paralysis. Problem-solvers thrive in chaotic and uncertain times because they act to change their future. Winners recognise that in a world of growing uncertainty, you need to resort to actions on things you can control.\n\n \n\n A robust mindset is the one common characteristic Bruce Whitfield has identified in two decades of interrogating how South Africa's billionaires and start-up mavericks think differently. They don't ignore risk or hope that problems will go away. They constantly measure, manage, consider and weigh up opportunities in a tumultuous sea of uncertainty and find ways around obstacles.\n\n \n\n If, as Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller suggests, the stories we tell affect economic outcomes, then we need to tell different stories amidst the noise and haste of a rapidly evolving world.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39357929783411,"sku":"9781770107687","price":247.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/B_c36d08c7-c7bd-4947-8b3f-878302ffcf9f.webp?v=1752687217","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9781770107687","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
