THE HUMAN RESERVE
The World’s Greatest Untapped ResourceBy Dave Uwaifo
Length1h 30m
About this audiobook
What if the world’s greatest resource isn’t beneath our feet—but within us?
Humanity has spent centuries searching for wealth in oil, gold, land, technology, and capital. Yet behind every discovery, invention, organization, and thriving society stands the resource that made all the others valuable: people.
In THE HUMAN RESERVE, Dave Uwaifo challenges the conventional idea of human beings as resources to be used and replaces it with something far more powerful: people as reservoirs of potential to be developed.
Through compelling reflections on character, leadership, trust, contribution, community, and value creation, this book explores why societies prosper when they invest in people—and why personal growth begins when we recognize that receiving value often starts with becoming capable of giving it.
From the potential hidden inside an overlooked individual to the multiplication effect created when people invest in one another, THE HUMAN RESERVE presents a hopeful philosophy for building better individuals, organizations, communities, and nations.
Because people were never meant to be harvested.
They were meant to be developed.
And perhaps the greatest wealth humanity has yet to discover is already living within us.
