The power of onlyness : make your wild ideas mighty enough to dent the world
\"If you're like most people, you wish you had the ability to make a difference, but you don't have the credentials or a seat at the table, or can't get past the gatekeepers, or aren't high enough in any hierarchy to get your ideas heard ... [Merchant believes] that, in fact, we have now reached an unprecedented moment of opportunity for your ideas to make a dent on the world. Now that the Internet has liberated ideas to spread through networks instead of hierarchies, power is no longer determined by your status\"--Dust jacket flap.
