The milestone marks a significant achievement for Nawbatt's debut book which helps readers build pattern recognition frameworks that drive effective decision-making to accelerate business growth, leadership, and career pivots.

"What started as an idea, built from years of operator, investor and consulting expertise in leadership, global markets, media, decision-making, human behavior, pivots, adversity, serendipity, and the unwritten rules of success, has now connected with readers in a profound way" said Nawbatt. "I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the book, the 15 distinguished global leaders who I interviewed for the book, and the iconic visionaries who endorsed it.

Individuals and organizations are navigating rapid technological, economic, and societal shifts. In The CodeBreaker Mindset^™, Dr. Astro Teller, CoFounder and Captain of Alphabet's The Moonshot Factory, says the world is changing faster and faster, and the truth is that's going to continue. It is not only going to continue to be at a high pace, but the pace will continue to increase. It's a lot for almost everybody. That's scary for most of the world." More than ever, building pattern recognition and effective decision making are mandatory competitive competencies everyone needs to develop and execute at scale.
