A good read with some insight on a new(ish) term, the iconoclast. It definitely has a feel of the author tooting his own horn, but he repeats that it is to serve as an example in order to find your own potential. I can see some being frustrated with the book, especially those that don't lean toward being iconoclasts themselves, but if you are self-motivated, a list keeper, a "do-er," this is a book for you!

I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook ‘Iconoclasm’ which I really enjoyed. I expected it to be a more finance/economy focused book but it the author brought in a lot of personal stories that kept it lighter and a great listen especially for the commute. I was concerned that it was going to rehash all the covid stories over and over but it didn’t. It spoke about the future and how we may handle things- which I believe was on point.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to review this book.

This book was fine, but just too short. It spent a lot of time engaging with random covid things instead of talking about iconoclasm. But it did have some good points. I will also say it felt like it was written early/mid pandemic and then not updated, a bunch of the talking points seemed weirdly "mid-covid" to me.

Don't Just Survive, Thrive

Outstanding look at the way COVID-19 has shaped our lives. Also looks at the risks and benefits of life "after" COVID.

Essentially this book goes from COVID survival (now), and reformulates your mindset and gives you tips to thrive in this new pandemic-riddled economy.

Zorc, like so many pundits, makes it clear that COVID is still here, and gives some great tips to get into Iconoclasm.

Some really important views in this short book.

The writing was very well done, and reminded me of the great Adam M. Grant.

Highly recommend!

4.8/5
