Nilofer Merchant

Listen to "Nilofer Merchant The Power Of Onlyness" on Spreaker. In THE POWER OF ONLYNESS, Merchant reveals that, in fact, we have now reached an unprecedented moment of opportunity for your ideas to “make a dent” on the world. Now that the Internet has liberated ideas to spread through networks instead of hierarchies, power is no longer determined by your status, but by “onlyness”—that spot in the world only you stand in, a function of your distinct history and experiences, visions and hopes. Merchant makes a powerful argument for why the functionality of society will depend on how well we develop systems to better support the purpose and passions of all people.
