Altitude
From former Google engineer and seasoned investor Jun Wu comes *Altitude*—a no-nonsense guide to thriving in an era of constant change, drawing on decades of cross-cultural experience between China and the U.S. Wu distills hard-earned lessons on career strategy, personal growth, and decision-making, challenging readers to reject herd mentality and embrace proactive action. He breaks down why "fake busywork" traps people in stagnation, how to communicate effectively in high-stakes workplaces, and the critical role of mentorship in long-term success. The book also explores bigger-picture themes: the clash between agrarian and commercial civilizations, the pitfalls of pessimism in a rapidly evolving world, and the keys to creating rare, irreplaceable value in the digital age. Packed with relatable anecdotes (from Google’s office culture to ancient wisdom) and actionable strategies, *Altitude* equips readers to elevate their mindset, navigate uncertainty, and build a life of purpose and impact.
