LETRAS

We experience change in four phases. The first is panic. Then we adapt. Then we find a new normal. And then, finally, we reach the phase we could not have imagined in the beginning, the moment when we realize that we wouldn’t go back. Build for Tomorrow is designed to accelerate that process—to help you lessen your panic, adapt faster, define the new normal, and thrive going forward. And it arrives as we all, in some way, have felt a shift in our lives. The pandemic forced a moment of collective change, and we are still being forced to make new plans and adjustments to our lives, families, and careers. Many of us will never go back, continuing to work from home, demanding higher wages, or starting new businesses. To help people along this journey, Entrepreneur magazine editor in chief Jason Feifer offers stories, lessons, and concrete exercises from the most potent sources of change in our world. He speaks to the world’s most successful changemakers—from global celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Maria Sharapova to innovative CEOs and Main Street heroes—to learn how they decide what to protect, what to discard, and how to move forward without fear. He also draws lessons from history, looking at how massive changes across time can help us better understand the opportunities of today. For example, he finds guidance for our post-pandemic realities inside the power shifts that occurred after the Bubonic Plague, and he reveals how the history of innovations like the elevator and even the teddy bear can teach anyone to be more forward-thinking.

Un hilo trágico une el destino de las cinco personas que tienen voz en esta hipnótica novela. Agustina es una actriz trans que lleva demasiado tiempo encadenando proyectos fallidos y cuya capacidad de amar es tan grande como su voraz deseo de venganza. Verónica es una aplicada guionista televisiva que ve cómo se le escapa de las manos el talento que creyó poseer. Matthew es un hombre simple cuyo matrimonio se desmorona por culpa de sus obsesiones cada vez más desaforadas. Paula es una genial escritora secreta devorada por su propia obra, que atesora en un viejo laptop sin procesador de textos. Juan, pareja de Agustina y en su día rutilante artista conceptual, desconoce que lo van a asesinar en las afueras de Nueva York. Bum bum bum es una historia visceral y extrema, coral y elíptica, llena de anhelos y violencia, habitada por personajes desorbitados que se preguntan dolorosamente quién son. Un libro, en definitiva, desbordado de vida y pasión, pero también de mugre y soledad.
