The Science of Scaling: Grow Your Business Bigger and Faster Than You Think Possible
Not yet published
Expected 29 Jul 25Author and organizational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy explores time as distance traveled rather than elapsed duration, showing that our time controls our lives.
“The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences.� —Jean-Jacques Rousseau
What if we measured our entire lives as we measure light-years—as distance traveled rather than time elapsed? How would each day look, if rather than passing through 24 hours, we measured how far we moved that day? Twenty-four hours wouldn’t mean anything. If we measured time as distance, on our deathbeds we could say, “It took me eighty years (or however long we lived) to get from point A (birth) to point B (the accumulation of life’s experiences and meanings).� But what if we could find an alternative course that would get us from point A to point B in half that time?
What if we could leap through a wormhole and land at point B sometime shortly after point A? What would you do with the remaining time of your life? What if you could live and breathe every moment of your 80-year life in the first 25—thus extending your earthly possibilities by 55 years?
In this book, Dr. Hardy explains how time can be stretched and manipulated. A physics notion for this is wormholes, where you can “jump� from one place in spacetime to another, covering vast distances in a small amount of time.

I hav received an early copy and was thrilled because I am a huge fan of Dr Benjamin Hardy’s work. Sadly, this book was not the quality that I had expected. I’m really hoping that by the time this finally goes to print there is a serious lift in value. I feel like everything that is being attempted in this book has been done before in other books, in a much more succinct and systematic way. The references to historical figures and billionaires is overdone in other business books and pop culture. Ironically, this book is about getting absolute clarity so that you exponentially scale, and yet half of the words I felt were irrelevant. I very rarely write a negative review. But I was so shocked by the contrasting quality from other books. I look forward to getting a copy on the final version and I will gladly change my review should it be significantly improved.

I have been an avid reader of Dr. Hardy's works, as well as a coaching client in one of his 90 day Rapid Transformation sprints, and this book does an incredible job of showcasing his framework for understanding the psychology of scaling.
He masterfully breaks down what feels like a massive concept into a very simple three-part process and expertly explains it in an accessible way, all while supporting his theories with solid evidence from real world examples and building upon content shared by other thought leaders.

The Science of Scaling is an honest, straight-forward book about not just thinking, but DOING bigger. Hardy's less is more philosophy is broken down into how to actually do less of the things that distract and more of the things that will cause a massive shift in business. Yes, it involves 'killing your darlings' and not being afraid to pivot people and products, and along with the reflection questions, this can be a useful book for anyone in business at any stage. - Stephanie Thoma, Author of Confident Introvert (this is an advance review after reading an advance copy)
