Dr. Peter Diamandis is an American engineer, physician, entrepreneur, book author and above all an optimist. 
His latest book "Abundance - The Future is Better Than You Think" is an antidote to today's dark pessimism: It argues that new technologies and other forces will make the coming years better, not worse, as we so often worry. 
He is also the Chairman and CEO of the X PRIZE Foundation, which leads the world in designing and launching large incentive prizes to drive radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity. One of their latest projects is the Qualcomm Tricorder X PRIZE which is a $10 million competition for building a mobile device to diagnose and monitor healthcare conditions. 
As Peter says: "The more the people and the planet become interconnected, the better we are. I am an optimist and evidence shows that there is a good reason for that."
