7. In the moments between watching and re-watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony in the
past 48 hours, I’ve been reading No Straight Lines: Making Sense of Our Non-Linear World
by Alan Moore. Alan presents the current array of economic and social problems as a kind
of design challenge, where what is being redesigned is the organisation of society as a
whole. Insanely ambitious, but I rather like that. In sum: “Imagine the impossible, then create
it.” Our hero Danny Boyle would agree.
Diane Coyle, BBC Trustee, Economist, author of The Economics of Enough,
The Soulful Science.
REVIEWS
8. ‘Anyone worried about where business is going in today’s chaotic world – and
everyone concerned with where it should be going – must read No Straight
Lines. Alan Moore has captured what is happening, but more importantly
provides prescriptions for what individuals, companies, and society should do
about it to create a better world’.
– B Joseph Pine II, Co-author, The Experience Economy and Infinite Possibility
REVIEWS

interest in the true nature of happiness – should read this important book.
