Tim Ferriss · The Tim Ferriss Show · Aug 2021 Listen at 49:27 The best things said about it
I think that book lights out, which chronicles the decline of GE ought to be required reading in every business school in the country. It won't be because they don't want to offend anybody, but it should be. If there's anybody here who's not red lights out, you should buy it and read it.
So, the first thing I would tell you, there's a book by Ted Koppel called Lights Out. And I read enough of that to go, I don't know if that happens.
Actually what what i end up reading later in in both ted koppel's book lights out and also in uh this book by toby oard at the university of oxford called the prep the precipice.
Then at number 12 Ted Copple the former ABC anchor has a book called lights out not a memoir this is um straight journalism looking at the possibility of a terrorist attack on America's electric grid.
