Publisher's summary

COVID-19 is speeding up history, but how? What is the shape of the world to come?

Lenin once said, “There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.” This is one of those times when history has sped up.

CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria helps listeners to understand the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological, and economic impacts that may take years to unfold. In the form of 10 straightforward “lessons”, covering topics from globalization and threat-preparedness to inequality and technological advancement, Zakaria creates a structure for listeners to begin thinking beyond the immediate impacts of COVID-19.

Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present, and future, and, while urgent and timely, is sure to become an enduring staple.

Most thoughtful view of a pandemic

Only Zakarta can place the pandemic in a historic and hopeful framework that may move people to change their minds about how they respond. May his framework move them to view mask mandates not as a violation of individual rights, but as human agency to create a cooperative world view, so we all can thrive in peace and justice for all humanity.

Insightful and timely!

The analysis, the insight, the comparisons and the examples provided are compelling. The sequence of lessons could have been modified somewhat to offer a more logical connectivity between the topics.
I had to go to 1.2X to get to a comfortable pace of listening.

Overall a great listen and i highly recommend it.

Great insight and analysis

Will listen to this again to ensure I've picked up all the nuances. Very well conceived and executed.

Since finding FZ's Sunday show on CNN -- Global Public Square -- I've become a fan of his unbiased and non-partisan reporting, insight and analysis. I am not disappointed in this book which provides richness in its thought-provoking and challenging content.

Highly recommended to all.

A serious scholarly work.

A serious scholarly work, certainly not 10 things to do to protect yourself. Required reading for world leaders and diplomats, CEO’s and globalists.
