The GuruBook is a collection of articles and interviews with known thought leaders and entrepreneurs whose leadership and strategic skills have resulted in very successful businesses. These renowned leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators have tested their visions and assumptions and have forged revolutionary business models.

In this book, they share their most important insights, learnings, and tools. They cover broad topics such as entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership, and they illustrate why these are not separate topics, but indeed must be combined and linked to succeed as a business and as an entrepreneur.

The GuruBook was published in Scandinavia in the Autumn of 2016 and was an instant #1 bestseller.

This English version of the book contains many additional exciting interviews with thinkers such as Salim Ismail (Singularity University), Naveen Jain (Moon Express), Jimmy Maymann (Huffington Post), Otto Scharmer (Theory U) and many others.

The GuruBook is for entrepreneurs and leaders who now know that traditional business models no longer provide results in fast-evolving digital and global economies. This book does not provide one single message -- Rather it’s a collection of inspiring articles and interviews with amazing people with great insights that are relevant for burgeoning entrepreneurs, leaders, business developers, and innovators.
