He&rsquo;s talking about 50x productivity&nbsp;<em>on average&nbsp;</em>for an&nbsp;<em>entire society</em>. It&rsquo;s profound historically. It&rsquo;s profound personally. It&rsquo;s profound societally.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Historical Profundity:&nbsp;</strong>The sudden rise in worker productivity is a historical anomaly.

Or imagine if you could work a full work week, but got 50x the results of everyone else? It would catapult your career &mdash; your salary, your impact, your reputation, your self-confidence.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://medium.com/accelerated-intelligence/in-1911-an-influential-expert-revealed-a-forgotten-science-of-how-to-be-50x-more-productive-8828f86eb1c9"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
