Purchase options and add-ons
Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
"The best window I've seen into this new world." --David Brooks, The New York Times
In this indispensable guide to navigating the twenty-first century, two visionary thinkers reveal how "new power" is reshaping politics, business, and life to be more open, participatory, and peer-driven. Here, Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms reveal a new and compelling lens on the biggest stories of our age--from the out-of-nowhere victory of Donald Trump to the rise of mega-platforms like Facebook. They show the strength of new power--movements like #MeToo; platforms like Airbnb and Lyft; organizations like TED and Lego--as well as its dark side. They contrast it to "old power," the foundations of which are coming under assault in an age of ubiquitous participation.
The battle between old and new power is determining who governs us, how we work, and even how we think and feel. This groundbreaking book provides a new way to understand the world--and the tools we all need to thrive in it.

Product description
Review
--Forbes
"A useful lens to use when thinking about how business has changed, how to spread ideas or start a movement, or create change. This book challenges all of us to think about the values we hold and how we can all be a part of building a more open, equitable, and participatory world."
--Richard Branson
"The surest sign that I've encountered a big idea isn't what the idea does to my brain. It's what it does to my eyes. When an idea is sufficiently compelling, it changes the very way I see. That's what happened to me when I read New Power."
--Daniel H. Pink, author of When and Drive
