Paul Millerd

Author

"A sharp, no-nonsense guide that slices through the fluff most success books are padded with. This book doesn't sell dreams. It hands you systems that are reproducible, reliable, and refreshingly sane Highly recommended for entrepreneurs riding the chaos or professionals plotting their next pivot, or even investors trying not to outsmart themselves! It offers mental models one can actually use, especially if they are tired of sprinting in circles and finally ready to play a smarter, longer game."

Haaren Sanghvi

CEO, HSAG

"Very clear and compelling writing, which helped me develop and extend my mindset when it comes to stitching together the short-term games knowing that it's this practice that will lead to winning long-term games even if it doesn't feel like winning for a while."

Matthew Stafford

"Luca provides very concrete examples with the concepts and frameworks he brings forward. Just like he helped me understand how antifragility can be cultivated in individuals and organisations, playing the long game gets real for me as I make plans and decisions."

Maryse Lepage

Executive coach, ex-Shopify

"This densely packed gem of a book is one of the best I've ever read. [...] This book spells out important points more succinctly and successfully than anything else I’ve read. I really can’t recommend it enough. It is the rare type of book I expect to read and reread over and over again throughout the rest of my life."
