Commenting on his book giveaway James Caan said, “The pandemic has rapidly sped up our transition towards a digital-first economy. An enormous number of people have become distressed after being displaced from jobs. Financial insecurity and fear for the future have abounded. I am hoping my secrets of employment and business success will help everyday people navigate their way out of these uncertain times and propel them back to prosperity”.
