Discover the Frameworks That Peter Diamandis Uses to See The Future

Welcome to Intro to Exponential Thinking

Kodak had 20 years of warning before digital photography destroyed them. Blockbuster watched Netflix for a decade before it was too late. The taxi industry saw Uber coming and did nothing.

These weren't stupid companies. They were linear thinkers in an exponential world.

The human brain evolved to think linearly—30 steps gets you 30 meters. But technology grows exponentially—30 doublings gets you to the moon. This mismatch is why smart people keep making catastrophically wrong predictions.

Peter Diamandis has spent four decades studying this gap. In this mini course, he reveals the specific mental models and frameworks that let you escape linear thinking and start seeing change the way it actually unfolds.
