      Summary of The Age Of Speed

      (Vince Poscente)

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      Instead of feeling guilty about leading a 24/7 lifestyle powered by all the latest technology, it’s time to fully embrace speed and make it your ally instead of your enemy. If you do this at a practical down-to-earth level, speed can and should lead to a more pleasant life experience rather than generating any more stress and tension.

      To succeed in making speed your ally, you need to learn how to go fast without exploding. A good mental model is to become like a jet when it comes to your personal and professional approach to speed. Jets are useful because they have:

      Agility – the ability to sense opportunities or threats and respond.

      Aerodynamics – compliance with the laws of physics so they can go fast.

      Alignment – they head to one specified destination rather than trying to be everywhere at once.

      The smart approach is to harness the accelerating demands for speed in life and business to your own advantage. This is the only way you’ll accomplish truly remarkable things in the current business environment.

      If we want to thrive in an accelerating world, we need to use the power of speed to our advantage. It’s the only way to get ahead of the rush that seems to be overtaking our lives and businesses. My hope is that you’ll have a new perspective, you’ll feel empowered to take control of your time, of your tasks, of your priorities, of your talents, and start making your life everything you want it to be and your business and career as successful as it can be.
