In this book, Lee draws on that wealth of experience and depth of insight to offer his views on today’s world and what it might look like in 20 years. This is no dry geopolitical treatise. Nor is it a thematic account of the twists and turns in global affairs. Instead, in this broad-sweep narrative that takes in America, China, Asia and Europe, he parses their society, probes the psyche of the people and draws his conclusions about their chances for survival and just where they might land in the hierarchy of tomorrow’s balance of power. What makes a society tick? What do its people really believe? Can it adapt?
In spare, unflinching prose that eschews political correctness, he describes a China that remains obsessed with control from the centre on its way to an unstoppable rise; an America that will have to share its pre-eminence despite its never-say-die dynamism; and a Europe that struggles with the challenges of keeping its union intact. His candid and often startling views – on why Japan is closed to foreigners, why the Arab Spring won’t bring one man, one vote to the Middle East, and why preventing global warming is not going to be as fruitful as preparing for it – make this a fresh and gripping read. Lee completes the book by looking into the future of Singapore – his enduring concern – and by offering the reader a glimpse into his personal life and his view of death. The book is interspersed with a Q&A section in each chapter, gleaned from conversations he had with journalists from The Straits Times.
英文书名"One Man's View of the World"比中文书名"李光耀观天下“更谦卑，更贴合老先生的为人。这本书的确是他一个人的观点，你可以不同意他。这大概也是他写这书的本意：给后人留下一些view／观点，而不是什么教条。关于李光耀，我必须要说，你很多时候可以不赞成他，但你不得不由衷地尊敬他。他如何做到这一点，才是他的智慧所在。
One Man’s View of the World 是《李光耀观天下》这本书的英文名。这本书是新加坡国父李光耀先生于90岁时写的，书中极为坦诚且（几乎）毫无保留地分享了他对世界主要国家和地区的观察与反思。 因为坦诚，所以读来非常过瘾；因为毫无保留，所以让普通老百姓都得以窥见：一个政...

Politics is an art of balance, and we need more pragmatists as political leaders.

完全不看电影和小说（震惊！），绝对的务实主义者，睿智且锐利，最难得的是始终保持谦逊和清醒，很多观点在十年后的今天都得到了验证。收获好大，看到了很多不同的视角，读完后对新马历史也好感兴趣！

非常好读的一本书，说的话都很实在。李光耀是个不折不扣的s人，高度相信实感，不喜欢虚构类，不看电影，连距离自己国家太远地区的新闻都不看，而且不怎么考虑国际援助啊大规模环保啊这种大词儿，相当务实。对于各个地区，喜欢从历史和地理分析，不囿于意识形态，非常智慧。

非常适合阅读，词汇合适丰富精准，观点也清晰明了，很多看法得到印证。李光耀客观又不谄媚，非常有人格魅力。和邓小平一样是万里挑一的人才
