A very special author to be a part of the WIM QuarterlyBook Club - Vikram Mansharamani, global trend-watcher who shows people how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot opportunities. He gained widespread attention with the release of his first book, Boombustology, which provided a framework for spotting bubbles before they burst.
On August 5th, the book club will be discussing his newest book THINK FOR YOURSELF, An indispensable guide for those looking to restore self-reliant thinking in a data-driven and technology-dependent yet overwhelmingly uncertain world.
