Publisher's summary

New York Times best seller!

"Few are better positioned to illuminate the vagaries of this transformation than Galloway, a tech entrepreneur, author and professor at New York University’s Stern School. In brisk prose and catchy illustrations, he vividly demonstrates how the largest technology companies turned the crisis of the pandemic into the market-share-grabbing opportunity of a lifetime." (The New York Times)

"As good an analysis as you could wish to read." (The Financial Times)

From best-selling author and NYU Business School professor Scott Galloway comes a keenly insightful, urgent analysis of who stands to win and who's at risk to lose in a post-pandemic world

The COVID-19 outbreak has turned bedrooms into offices, pitted young against old, and widened the gaps between rich and poor, red and blue, the mask wearers and the mask haters. Some businesses - like home exercise company Peloton, video conference software maker Zoom, and Amazon - woke up to find themselves crushed under an avalanche of consumer demand. Others - like the restaurant, travel, hospitality, and live entertainment industries - scrambled to escape obliteration.

But as New York Times best-selling author Scott Galloway argues, the pandemic has not been a change agent so much as an accelerant of trends already well underway. In Post Corona, he outlines the contours of the crisis and the opportunities that lie ahead. Some businesses, like the powerful tech monopolies, will thrive as a result of the disruption. Other industries, like higher education, will struggle to maintain a value proposition that no longer makes sense when we can't stand shoulder to shoulder. And the pandemic has accelerated deeper trends in government and society, exposing a widening gap between our vision of America as a land of opportunity, and the troubling realities of our declining wellbeing.

Combining his signature humor and brash style with sharp business insights and the occasional dose of righteous anger, Galloway offers both warning and hope in equal measure. As he writes, "Our commonwealth didn't just happen, it was shaped. We chose this path - no trend is permanent and can't be made worse or corrected."

Scott for President!!

An excellent review of the current state of affairs. I wish everyone would take a listen.

Scott books are always delightful to read

Greate overview of what is happening and what is to come. I enjoy how the author can have a view of both sides.

amazing book!!

I love listening to Scott. he is a trusted voice in modern economics. he also has a vulnerability that allows the listener to connect with his broader points. I cannot reccomend this enough.

Smart Big Picture thinking

Professor Galloway does a great job of giving context to our situation. He suggests some innovative and actionable solutions. Time flies by when listening and your thoughts are provoked in a positive way.

insightful and to the point!

Excellent read to gain constructive insight into the NOW! Chapter 5 should be required for all US citizens!

The first hour is great

The book draws heavily on Scott's blog writing through 2020 and as a result it is of variable relevance. The first hour is fantastic. There are moments when you're wondering 'what the heck does this have to do with anything?'

Ver insightful book, but same content as podcast

This book provides a very insightful look at the trends accelerated during COVID-19 for readers who are new to Scott Galloway's perspective, but it's mostly repetitive for those who have listened to his podcasts.

Very Interesting and Informative

Scott provides a lot of details on how to approach the post coronavirus world including some companies that can be huge disrupters.

Loved also the way he is able to decipher between crony capitalism vs. a remodeled approached of how to transform the current system.

We need more people like Scott

It's genuinely hard finding moderates in the US nowadays. Scott is a raging moderate (by US standards), concerned with economic/social outcomes rather than grievance/identity politics. His analysis here is sharp, and I can only pray that more people get on board.

Practical Insight

Recently discovered Scott on YouTube. I found his ability to break down the industry of branding, marketing, and business development by the numbers with comical wit more than an attention grabbing gimmick.

His book in my opinion doesn't disappoint. And it's perfectly time to provide relevant insight in a post covid world.
