Are things as bad as they seem? The End of the World is Just the Beginning; and The Crux, by the strategy expert Richard Rumelt, for the September 2 First Friday Book Synopsis
There is a best-selling new book by Peter Zeihan that says, yes, things are bad – really bad – but, there is reason for hope.
And Richard Rumelt, the strategy guru, is out with a new book to help you develop your business strategy. (I presented his earlier book, Good Strategy, Bad Strategy, a number of years back).
Both of these books will be worth your time; they will give you actionable information, and expand your thinking and your horizons. I will present my synopses of these two books at the September 2, 2022 First Friday Book Synopsis.
For over 24 years, we have presented synopses of business books at the First Friday Book Synopsis. So many of the books I have read and presented have shaped my thinking and helped me understand business success…and failure.
Mark your calendar for September 2. Attend in person, or on Zoom. Here are all the details.
——————–
Two good books for the September 2 First Friday Book Synopsis:
1. The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan.
2. The Crux: How Leaders Become Strategists by Richard Rumelt.

In our 25th YEAR of the First Friday Book Synopsis
First Friday Book Synopses
Friday, September 2, 2022
7:00 am, (Central Time)
Randy Mayeux provides thorough synopses of the content of useful, best-selling business books. He provides a comprehensive, multi-page synopsis handout, that concludes with his own lessons and takeaways from each book he presents.
“I love good books; and I read books
And share their core concepts
To help people become more literate
And know what to work on
To do a better job
To build a better company
And, ultimately, to build a better life.”
Randy Mayeux

For 24+ years, Randy has been presenting synopses of best-selling, useful, helpful business books. Every month!
What we know, we know because we have learned.
And, much of our learning begins with the thoughts we think, and the words we read and hear.
And, one good way to keep learning – some would argue the best way to keep learning – is to learn what is in the best books.
I hope you can join us to learn from two terrific and important books.
September 2, 2022 – Park City Club; and on Zoom
What to expect:
Two fast paced synopsis presentations.
For In-person participants, you will be given copies of the two synopsis handouts. For those attending remotely, you will receive a synopsis handout to download for each of the two books, delivered the day before the event, via e-mail.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THE BOOKS IN ADVANCE! – No pre-reading of the books required!
If you are like many, you do not have time to read all of the books you would like to read. The First Friday Book Synopsis is designed for you.
Our synopses are comprehensive, thorough, and they will give you plenty of the key content from the book. You will learn, and be able to ponder the ideas in a useful way. And, even if you have read the book, my synopsis will help you remember more of what you read.
I hope you can join us.
