It builds on 'Open' with a focus on application

Working intensively in the innovation education space, I was already a fan of David Price’s earlier book Open, but The Power of Us takes his work to the next level…application. As well as providing countless examples of how the world had already begun shifting pre-COVID, in an insanely short time, David has collected examples of citizen-led pandemic innovation and liberation. The Power of Us provides guidance for HOW to adapt and thrive in a wildly more changeable and interconnected world. Whether you lead thousands or are looking to make a personal contribution to the planet, The Power of Us… is for us!

A must read in today’s world

This is an excellent book that captures the world and asks important questions pre, during and post the Global Pandemic! It’s a must read for any one interested in leadership or wanting to make the world a better place or looking for some inspiration in challenging times. Full for great ideas and case studies there is so much to learn from The Power of Us.

Highly recommend

A thought provoking and inspiring read. A must read for all working within the education sector.

A very important read, spread the word..

This is an important book which taps into the changes that we need to make and which ironically we are actually being helped to make as a direct consequence of the coronavirus pandemic. The very fact that the author took the time to re-calibrate the book in the light of the pandemic, as so many of us are doing with our lives, bears testimony to the extraordinary opportunity to improve the world as we come out of this life changing event. Illustrated with inspiring stories and examples this book demonstrates that, as never before we, and in particular for the younger generations there is hope, and essentially it is by being more human and more kind that we can create a better future. OPEN was an extraordinary book but the insights made by David Price in this one demonstrates a way in which we can and should live, learn and work towards a brighter future for all. Bring on The Power of US..

Amazing and an imperative read today's times!

Loved every word and could relate to the novel leadership emerging over the last decade. It's adapt or perish world now, people like me who are looking for opportunities to make a difference can get a perspective on new emerging unsaid norms. With incredible impact. Price brings on board relatable examples with seed ideas for making your dreams come true in the disruptive world today. Well read out by Matt, thank you audible for enriching my life! This book: The Power of us --- Highly recommended!

What a wonderful Read

Not my usual type of reading material, however I was grasped from the start. Emotions of intrigue, laughter and what knowledge and understanding I have acquired of leadership, bravery and determined drive. Thank you for my new found enlightenment
