In "Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think," Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler embark on a visionary expedition beyond the boundaries of current thinking. They challenge the status quo with a compelling argument: the possibility of a future where the basic needs of every person on Earth are met is not only within reach but is barreling toward us at an unprecedented speed. Through a meticulously researched narrative, the authors illuminate how a combination of exponential technologies and a new breed of innovators are on the verge of creating a world of abundance. This isn't a mere dream—it's a tangible future that's unfolding before our very eyes, as detailed through the groundbreaking work of pioneers who are already making significant strides in fields ranging from healthcare and energy to education and freedom. Diamandis and Kotler don't just present a utopian vision; they lay out a pragmatic roadmap for how entrepreneurs, governments, and individuals can participate in and accelerate this transformation. "Abundance" delves into the powerful forces of exponential technologies, the DIY innovator, the Technophilanthropist, and the Rising Billion, all converging to propel humanity forward. By setting hard targets for change, the book serves as both a beacon of hope and a call to action, offering a fresh perspective that counters the pervasive narrative of scarcity and pessimism. It's a must-read for anyone invested in the future of humanity, providing ample reason for optimism and a blueprint for how we, as a global society, can achieve a world of abundance for all.

Abundance is not about providing everyone on this planet with a life of luxury—rather it’s about providing all with a life of possibility.
— Peter Diamandis, Abundance
