The Bottom-up Revolution: Mastering the Emerging World of Connectivity

Praise for The Bottom-up Revolution: Mastering the Emerging World of Connectivity

“Kall’s well-researched book integrates knowledge from philosophy to economics and ecology. He shows us how, all over the world and across many fields of endeavor, we humans are organizing new and rewarding ways of acting for the common good. His book is both idealistic and realistic and gives us a vision of what we all most need—hope for the future.” — Mary Pipher, psychologist, and #1 New York Times best-selling author of Reviving Ophelia and Writing to Change the World

 “At 350.org we’ve always wanted to work from the bottom up, and it's good to see people assembling a theoretical framework for understanding this decentralized approach!” — Bill McKibben, founder 350.org, author of The End of Nature

"Rob’s book is a voyage we’re taking into an alternate reality and you must experience that, an eye opener that you must join even more than you have already. It’s an easy, pleasant read to which we can all relate." — Marta Steele, Free Press

"Synopsis: Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Sir Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg have all said that change or growth happen from the bottom up. But what does it mean and how do you do ‘bottom up’ better and smarter? Essentially, bottom up is a way of life and a way of doing business. In ‘The Bottom-Up Revolution: Mastering the Emerging World of Connectivity’, award-winning journalist, inventor, software architect, connector and visionary Rob Kall picks up where Malcolm Gladwell's seminal book ‘Tipping Point’ left off. It is basically a how-to book for businesses, leaders, organizations, activists, and individuals, cracking wide-open humankind's biggest trend in seven million years. By understanding the roots and implications of ‘bottom up’ and ‘top down’ corporate executives and business leaders will be better able to tap the incredible power of this trend, just as the billionaire founders of Google, Facebook, Craigslist and Twitter have done. Critique: Drawing upon informative and illustrative interviews from more than one hundred 'bottom up thought leaders' ranging from jack Dorsey, Howard Zinn, Naomi Klein, and Riane Eisler, to Josephy Nye, George Lakoff, and Medea Benjamin, ‘The Bottom-up Revolution: Mastering the Emerging World of Connectivity’ is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and academic library Business Management & Entrepreneurial Leadership collections and supplemental studies lists. It should be noted for personal reading lists that ‘The Bottom-Up Revolution’ is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $12.07)." — Michael Dunford, Midwest Book Review
