On April 3, my first book New Power: How Power Works in Our Hyperconnected World--and How to Make It Work for You, is finally out from Knopf-Doubleday! And I am writing today to ask for your help.
Over the last three years I’ve been working with Henry Timms – founder of #GivingTuesday – to develop the ideas we first laid out in HBR and in my TED talk. We’ve learned so much from many of you – the activists, entrepreneurs, leaders and philanthropists who are using new forms of participation to shape a better world.
New Power offers a new roadmap to build movements, spread ideas, cultivate communities, lead differently, and shift established organizations in our radically altered world. We’ve had some wonderful early reactions to the book, including from Jane Goodall ("this book will inform and inspire all those wanting to make change”); Alicia Garza ("a must-read ... a gift to our movements"); Reid Hoffman (“essential and extremely insightful”) and Richard Branson (“could not be coming at a better time”).
As a friend of mine and of Purpose, I’d love for you to have New Power in your hands on publication day. But we also know that these pre-orders will make a *huge* difference to the trajectory and reach of this book — a strong opening week has a major impact on how many people ultimately engage with these ideas. Your help now will help New Power take off.
Your support means a lot. And if you pre-order New Power in the next five days, we’ll send you a chapter you can read right away — and an impossibly cute new power tote bag :)
If you’re interested in buying 5-500 copies of the book or gifting it to activists who need these tools to fight the good fight, you can bulk order at a significantly reduced cost here.
