About this ebook

From the New York Times bestselling authors of Abundance, Bold, and The Future Is Faster Than You Think comes a powerful new guide to navigating—and flourishing in—a world of exponential change.

Across every domain of life, yesterday’s miracles are becoming today’s tools. AI diagnoses diseases and writes code. Biotech startups are growing meat without animals. Autonomous robots are transforming agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare. These aren’t forecasts—they’re facts.

We’ve entered the Age of Abundance.

But while technology is accelerating at breakneck speed, our brains are struggling to keep up. Hardwired for a world of scarcity, we’re overwhelmed by information, battered by uncertainty, and distracted by apocalyptic headlines. The result? A growing mismatch between the power at our fingertips and our ability to use it well.

Age of Abundance is a survival guide for this pivotal moment. With gripping stories, cutting-edge data, and hard-won insights from the front lines of innovation, Diamandis and Kotler show how exponential technologies are rewriting the rules of possibility—and how each of us must evolve to keep pace. This is a playbook for turning anxiety into agency and isolation into collaboration—at a global scale.

Abundance is here. Are you ready?
