"Thank you for being Late" is an interesting book by Thomas L.Friedman where he emphasizes the role of the community or of the family as the anchor for stabilizing a person's life in this age of speedy changes or the age of accelerations .This book came about from his accidental encounter with a parking garage attendant and spending time with him to get to know about his views on current affairs as well as of Ethiopia, his native country. Although he was late because of this chance meeting with the attendant, it produced the birth of this book which is a reflection on contemporary malaise.Hence, it is thanks for being late. We don't have to hurry.We can spend time with people which will definitely bring unexpected benefits in our life.
According to the author, the three forces that control the planet, technology, globalization and climate change are all accelerating at once. Because of this, many aspects of our societies, workplaces and geopolitics need to be re-imagined.
