From: "Safi Bahcall" To: "Jeffery Edwards" <[email protected]> Subject: Thank you for helping Loonshots take off! Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2019 15:30:02 +0000 Dear Jeffery, In 2014, I had an idea. In 2015, I had an essay and a book agent. In 2016, publishers said my idea could never work. Who would read a book that combines physics, business, and history? Today, I'm delighted to announce that my new book, Loonshoots, has debuted on The Wall Street Journal bestseller list at #3! Last week Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink and Adam Grant selected Loonshots as one of the "two most groundbreaking new nonfiction reads of the season." The WSJ, the Financial Times, Nature, Scientific American, the Washington Post, Harvard Business Review, and many others have featured Loonshots. If you haven't already, I invite you to join the conversation by ordering a copy and sharing your thoughts in an Amazon review or on social media.

You'll hear stories of thieves and geniuses and kings, and examples that range from the spread of fires in forests to the hunt for terrorists online. Along the way, you'll see how chickens saved millions of lives, what James Bond and Lipitor have in common, and where Isaac Newton and Steve Jobs got their ideas. My hope is that Loonshots will change how you think about life, love, and the pursuit of crazy ideas. Thank you again for your support!

Not to be missed by anyone who wants to understand how ideas change the world." Daniel Kahneman winner of the Nobel Prize, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow "14 Books Everyone Will Be Reading in 2019" Business Insider "Who knew that one idea could connect naval battles, chirping crickets, and the birth of modern science? If The Da Vinci Code and Freakonomics had a child together, it would be called Loonshots."
