"This is science writing as wonder and as inspiration." —The Wall Street Journal Wall Street Journal From one of the most influential scientists of our time, a dazzling exploration of the hidden laws that govern the life cycle of everything from plants and animals to the cities we live in. Visionary physicist Geoffrey West is a pioneer in the field of complexity science, the science of emergent systems and networks. The term “complexity” can be misleading, however, because what makes West’s discoveries so beautiful is that he has found an underlying simplicity that unites the seemingly complex and diverse phenomena of living systems, including our bodies, our cities and our businesses. Fascinated by aging and mortality, West applied the rigor of a physicist to the biological question of why we live as long as we do and no longer. The result was astonishing, and changed science: West found that despite the riotous diversity in mammals, they are all, to a large degree, scaled versions of each other. If you know the size of a mammal, you can use scaling laws to learn everything from how much food it eats per day, what its heart-rate is, how long it will take to mature, its lifespan, and so on. Furthermore, the efficiency of the mammal’s circulatory systems scales up precisely based on weight: if you compare a mouse, a human and an elephant on a logarithmic graph, you find with every doubling of average weight, a species gets 25% more efficient—and lives 25% longer. Fundamentally, he has proven, the issue has to do with the fractal geometry of the networks that supply energy and remove waste from the organism’s body. West’s work has been game-changing for biologists, but then he made the even bolder move of exploring his work’s applicability. Cities, too, are constellations of networks and laws of scalability relate with eerie precision to them. Recently, West has applied his revolutionary work to the business world. This investigation has led to powerful insights into why some companies thrive while others fail. The implications of these discoveries are far-reaching, and are just beginning to be explored. Scale is a thrilling scientific adventure story about the elemental natural laws that bind us together in simple but profound ways. Through the brilliant mind of Geoffrey West, we can envision how cities, companies and biological life alike are dancing to the same simple, powerful tune.

Life was created to function on rules. But many people are ignorant of this truth. That's why only a few folks are truly living in the real sense of the word. The rest of the people are merely existing. Until you discover the Rules of Life and begin to order your life accordingly, you won't get the best that life has to offer. Life responds positively only to those who live by the rules. The discovery of the Rules of Life and their proper application marks the beginning of life for those who indulge. Where there's no law, people remain low. Thus, the Rules of Life are the real stuff life is made of. Dr. David Oyedepo once said, "To be lawless is to be lifeless". Only the lawful become faithful and helpful. It is awful not to be lawful. To be ruleless is to be rudderless. Only the ruled become rulers! For instance, Rule #1 states that "You're Not SERIOUS In Life Until You're STUDIOUS In Life" while Rule #2 states that "You Can't UNDERTAKE What You Don't UNDERSTAND." According to Rule #12, "Those Who Wait For PERFECT BEGINNINGS Only End Up PERFECTING The BEGINNINGS". The Rules of Life #13 and #15 state that, "Low CAPACITY Is Exposed During CALAMITY," and "A Church That Is Not For SPIRITUALITY Is For CRIMINALITY," respectively. In the same vein, Rule #17 states that "You'll Only Bear Rule When You Obey Rules." Whereas Rule #19 states that "You Don't Have to Be YOUTHFUL To Be USEFUL," Rule #20 states that "Your Spiritual CONSISTENCY Is What Guarantees Your Spiritual CONSTITUENCY." This first volume of 20 Rules is a chronicle of divinely-inspired quotes which I call, the Rules of Life. They are tablets of wisdom packaged in words to give direction to every department of your life. They can best be described with the words of the Holy Book which says "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." They will help guide your day-to-day activities towards achievement and success, joy and happiness, good health and vitality as well as sound mentality and robust spirituality. Do yourself some good by studying them meticulously, meditating on them studiously, and applying them appropriately, as explained, for effective and productive living. Go on and rule on!
