Peter H. Diamandis

Providing abundance is humanity’s grandest challenge—this is a book about how we rise to meet it. We will soon be able to meet and exceed the basic needs of every man, woman and child on the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp. This bold, contrarian view, backed up by exhaustive research, introduces our near-term future, where exponentially growing technologies and three other powerful forces are conspiring to better the lives of billions. An antidote to pessimism by tech entrepreneur turned philanthropist, Peter H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler. Since the dawn of humanity, a privileged few have lived in stark contrast to the hardscrabble majority. Conventional wisdom says this gap cannot be closed. But it is closing—fast. The authors document how four forces—exponential technologies, the DIY innovator, the Technophilanthropist, and the Rising Billion—are conspiring to solve our biggest problems. Abundance establishes hard targets for change and lays out a strategic roadmap for governments, industry and entrepreneurs, giving us plenty of reason for optimism.Examining human need by category—water, food, energy, healthcare, education, freedom—Diamandis and Kotler introduce dozens of innovators making great strides in each area: Larry Page, Steven Hawking, Dean Kamen, Daniel Kahneman, Elon Musk, Bill Joy, Stewart Brand, Jeff Skoll, Ray Kurzweil, Ratan Tata, Craig Venter, among many, many others.

During the next decade, we will experience more disruption and create more wealth than we have in the past hundred years. In this insightful and gripping blueprint for our near future, bestselling authors and futurists Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler investigate how wave after wave of exponentially accelerating technologies will impact both our daily lives and society as a whole. What happens as AI, robotics, virtual reality, digital biology, and sensors crash into 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks? How will these convergences transform today's legacy industries? What will happen to the way we raise our kids, govern our nations, and care for our planet? Space entrepreneur-turned-innovation pioneer Peter H. Diamandis and bestselling author and peak performance expert Steven Kotler probe the science of technological convergence and how it will reinvent every part of our lives--transportation, retail, advertising, education, health, entertainment, food, and finance--taking humanity into uncharted territories and reimagining the world as we know it. As indispensable as it is gripping, The Future is Faster Than You Think provides a prescient look at our impending future.

“A visionary roadmap for people who believe they can change the world—and invaluable advice about bringing together the partners and technologies to help them do it.” —President Bill ClintonA radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools, Bold unfolds in three parts. Part One focuses on the exponential technologies that are disrupting today’s Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from “I’ve got an idea” to “I run a billion-dollar company” far faster than ever before. The authors provide exceptional insight into the power of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology. Part Two draws on insights from billionaires such as Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos and reveals their entrepreneurial secrets. Finally, Bold closes with a look at the best practices that allow anyone to leverage today’s hyper-connected crowd like never before. Here, the authors teach how to design and use incentive competitions, launch million-dollar crowdfunding campaigns to tap into tens of billions of dollars of capital, and finally how to build communities—armies of exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today’s entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.

How converging technologies are transforming business, industries, and our lives.

In 1968, Stewart Brand 'We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it.' Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection - are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn't whether humanity can play god. It's whether we can do it wisely.In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species' next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity's ascent from scarcity to superabundance - and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won't be built by those who fear what's coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.Abundance is here. Are you ready?

We are in the midst of a healthspan revolution that will enable us to live vitally beyond 100 years old. Advanced diagnostics are now able to catch any disease at inception, while advanced therapies in clinical trials have the potential to reverse disease while also slowing, stopping, and potentially even reversing aging.Peter Diamandis, MD, designed Longevity Guidebook as an easy to use roadmap to help you understand the power of this healthspan revolution (driven by AI, CRISPR, gene therapy, and cellular medicine) and to inspire you to maintain your best health to intercept the transformative breakthroughs coming this decade. In this book, you will That greater than 70 percent of your potential longevity is based on your lifestyle, not your genetics.How to implement proven lifestyle practices that will optimize your diet, sleep, exercise, and mindset, all enabling extended healthspan.About advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies that will enable you to find and reverse disease at the earliest time possible.How to “NOT die from something stupid,” and about the breakthroughs that can save your life and the lives of those you love.About women’s health and how to maximize female healthspan through every stage of life.How to build and maintain a “longevity mindset” coupled with the routines that will transform your health.About the 75+ pills (meds and supplements) Peter takes every day and why he takes them.LONGEVITY GUIDEBOOK is a practical reference guide that you can easily turn to as needed. It’s time for you to shape your longevity mindset, and prepare to intercept the next wave of healthspan-extending breakthroughs expected during the decade ahead.

Life is short—until you extend it! We are in the midst of a healthspan revolution. In this practical playbook, I share my own longevity practices—what I’m personally doing to extend my healthspan—which have been garnered from synthesizing well over three hundred interviews during my Abundance Platinum Longevity Trips, my Moonshots podcast, and in consultation with the medical team at Fountain Life.Experts predict that breakthroughs within the next ten years will enable us to add decades onto our healthspan. This refers to the period of life spent in good health, free from the chronic diseases and disabilities of aging. It emphasizes the quality of life lived rather than just the duration. In contrast, lifespan is the total duration of an individual’s life, regardless of their health condition. While lifespan denotes the years lived, healthspan underscores the years lived healthily and actively.Your mission is therefore to maximize your health and vitality by using the most advanced diagnostics to catch disease early, enabling you to stay healthy long enough to intercept the additional breakthroughs racing toward us.Can we extend the healthy human lifespan past today’s record of 122? Can humans live past 200 years? Or even indefinitely? What if advancements in AI can significantly shorten the regular cycles of clinical trials? And what if we learn to prevent and eventually eradicate cancers, heart diseases, and Alzheimer’s?Most people imagine that longevity is mostly inherited, and that the genetic cards you are dealt have predetermined your lifespan.You may be surprised by the truth.In 2018, after the analysis of a 54-million-person ancestry database, scientists announced that lifespan has little to do with genes. In fact, heritability is accountable for roughly 7% of your longevity. The highest estimates for heritability verge around 30%—which still means at a minimum, you’re 70% in control of how you age.The power of shaping your healthspan is much more in your hands than you might have imagined. Extending the healthy human lifespan will increase global abundance and uplift humanity. The equation is simple; longer healthier lives mean more time spent at our productive best which means more innovation.Start extending your life—today.
