An updated edition for an ever-shifting landscape of change

In Everything Connects, serial entrepreneur and thought leader Faisal Hoque teams up with journalist Drake Baer to provide a framework that shows readers how to:

* Holistically connect the "when" and "what" with who they are
* Inspire and lead inside and outside of their organization
* Generate ideas, grounded decisions, and long-term value

Part philosophy, part business, and part history, this book is a kaleidoscopic view of the way humans―by being able to think out of the box―have been able to achieve greatness for themselves, their organizations, and the world at large.

You'll learn from the wisdom of Eastern philosophies that are over 2,500 years old and the interconnected insights of Leonardo da Vinci. Couple that with Fortune 100 corporate cross pollination for creativity and startup thinking for how to adapt with ease, and you have Everything Connects. This isn't just a quick fix for your next financial quarter; this is how you succeed in the long run.

This updated version includes new content that is inextricably connected to leveraging and thriving in this environment of change. Through the lens of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the COVID-19 pandemic, we can see how it's essential to reframe the ways we approach how we work, play, and live.

The new content adds further substance to the seminal focus of the first version of Everything Connects and furthers the core message—that everything, in fact, does have a relationship to everything else resulting in a powerful synergy.

Drake Baer is Insider’s first editor at large, working across the newsroom to help produce ambitious journalism.

For two and a half years before that, Baer served as deputy editor, overseeing a team of twenty-plus reporters and editors who cover the future of work, real estate, and small business. The fast-paced team was behind some of Insider’s major packages in the last few years, including a state-by-state look into unemployment during the first year of the pandemic and in-depth profiles of “niche famous” characters such as real estate media tycoon Brandon Turner and HR icon Johnny C Taylor. They shed new light on big names, like Joe Biden, America’s imperfect leader. He also cultivated thesis-oriented ideas journalism, whether it be on why “'diversity' and 'inclusion' are the emptiest words in corporate America” or why it’s actually a horrible time to buy a house. (No, really, it is.)

Before editing, his byline as a reporter was on the masthead for Fast Company and New York Magazine, covering the many intersections of social science, business, and economics. Baer has interviewed some our time’s leading minds, including philanthropist Bill Gates, FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver, NBA champion and investor Steph Curry, “growth mindset” psychologist Carol Dweck, the rapper Q-Tip, Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, and the man who gave a name to “disruptive innovation,” the late Clay Christensen.

Baer has published two books, the most recent being Perception: How Our Bodies Shape Our Minds, with Dennis Proffitt. He has been featured as a speaker at the Aspen Ideas Festival, presented at TedX Princeton, and moderated many panels.

Fun facts? He’s meditated every day for over a decade, except for the days he hasn’t. He circumnavigated the globe before turning twenty-five. He loves and can advocate for just about every food except grapefruit. And at thirty-five, he is just now learning to draw.
