Summary of Joshua Cooper Ramo's The Seventh Sense

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1942, a young Chinese scholar named Nan Huai-Chin left Chengdu and began walking to Eyebrow Mountain, a sacred Buddhist site in Sichuan province. He had trained his spirit to the highest level of sharpness, and when attacked, his spirit moved first. #2 Nan began his quest to sharpen his spirit by traveling from master to master in China, from monastery to university to rural Tibetan huts. He became known as one of the country’s most powerful families, and was invited to set up a private school. #3 The world we live in today is both exciting and unsettling. It is exciting because it is full of opportunities, but it is unsettling because it is full of problems that require solutions. The world we live in today is a network age, and we need to develop the instincts needed for a network age. #4 In the first part of the book, I will explain how our networks fit into the long history of human civilization. We must understand that we are not living in a normal moment, but rather one where we are constantly connected.
