This Friday - Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World, Fareed Zakaria & Your Next Five Moves (On Zoom) - for the Dec. 4 First Friday Book Synopsis

About the

First Friday Book Synopsis

“I love good books;

and I read books

And share their core concepts

To help people

become more literate

And know what to work on

To do a better job

To build a better company

And, ultimately, to build

a better life.”

Randy Mayeux

A note from Randy Mayeux:

At our Dec. 4 First Friday Book Synopsis, we have two strong reasons for you to "attend" our Zoom session.

First, Karl Krayer will be giving his first business presentation since his stroke. He will present his synopsis of Your Next Five Moves.

Second, I am presenting the new book by Fareed Zakaria, Ten Lessons for a Post-pandemic World. This is an instant best seller (#1 on the New York Times Business books best-sellers list), and a genuinely important book. This will be the third book I have presented by Mr. Zakaria, and it will be worth your time!

I hope that you can join us. And a special thanks to all who have participated financially. It has genuinely helped during this pandemic season. Thank you.

And... have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

Greetings,

We continue to have wonderful attendance on our Zoom sessions. Please join us -- and help spread the word...

For December 4, we welcome back Karl Krayer, who will present his synopsis of Your Next Five Moves. This will be his Karl's first business presentation since his stroke a few years back. We are looking forward to having Karl speak to us.

I announced earlier that I would present Creativity by John Cleese. I am changing from that decision for two reasons: first, there is a genuinely important new book just published by Fareed Zakaria: Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World. It is especially timely, and I decided that I should present it right away. (It landed on the New York Times Business Books best-sellers list at #1 immediately after it was released). The second reason is simple: though Creativity is a good book, I discovered that it is simply too short for our purposes at the First Friday Book Synopsis.

(The synopsis handouts will be e-mailed out to all a day or two before the event).
