| Praise for Life 2.0 | ||
| "Karlgaard leaves his Silicon Valley lair and sets out to explore 'flyover country' from an up-close and personal perspective in his little Cessna Skyhawk. As he discovers the joy of controlling flight, he also discovers countless Americans taking control of their environment by moving to the hinterlands for higher quality life with a sense of purpose." | ||
| --- John and Martha King, King Schools | ||
| "Rich Karlgaard has crafted a delightful, and surprisingly moving, tale that will allay the greatest fear of many upwardly mobile Americans: Not death. Not even public speaking. But the terror of waking up, alive and well, a resident of Bismarck, North Dakota." | ||

| --- Tom Wolfe | ||

"Rich Karlgaard's stories show that America offers an array of routes to personal fulfillment that, while counter-intuitive to those on the conventional fast-track, offers great promise to those who are open to personal innovation." |

| "Written with literary flair and analyzed with rare social and financial insight, Life 2.0 combines a gifted novelist's sense of personal drama and pace with a technology visionary's insight into the future. Take an epochal ride in Rich Karlgaard's aerobatic new book. Not only will it stretch your mind and wide the horizons of your life, it also could renew your health and wealth." | ||
| --- George Gilder, Futurist and Author | ||
| "Talk about timely! Rich Karlgaard takes a thoroughly original approach to examining the sustaining upheaval in the American white-collar professional labor market. As someone who gritted his teeth and jilted Palo Alto for Vermont a decade ago, I was entranced by Karlgaard's very human stories--and their very profound consequences. No one has a pat answer to the 'great jobs conundrum'---but this fascinating treatise will make you think deeply, and may just give you the impetus to uproot. And, hooray, our amateur pilot tour-guide lived to tell the tale!" | ||
| --- Tom Peters, Management Consultant and Best-Selling Author | ||
| "Life 2.0 is an original and exhilarating look at options many Americans don't realize are now open to them. Rich Karlgaard's enthusiasm is contagious, based on the evidence he has found on his explorations from coast to coast. Anyone stuck in a traffic jam or beset by big-city woes will think long and longingly about the prospects this book lays out." | ||
