Ross Dawson - Thriving on Overload

We live in a world with an abundance of valuable information at our fingertips. But the downside is exhaustion from dizzying information overload and a 24-hour news cycle that makes it overwhelming to sift through and process. In fact, in early 2020, 66% of Americans reported being “worn out” by the amount of news.In Thriving on Overload: The Five Powers for Success in a World of Exponential Information (McGraw Hill, 9/6/22), futurist and entrepreneur Ross Dawson contends that the capacity to thrive on limitless information is now the single most important capability for success, yielding not just powerful insight, world-leading expertise, and better decisions, but also improved wellbeing. Ross draws on the experiences of his world-class clients, which include Citibank, Coca-Cola, Google, KPMG, Microsoft, News Limited, Oracle, Procter & Gamble, PwC, and Walmart. He shows how to make information overload something to capitalize on instead of run from—and how this can improve your career (in any field), ventures, investments and life. Blog post available at: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/dawsonPlease consider a small donation if you'd like to support my work educating and entertaining new investors in the stock market.Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.
