A Whole New Mind

Directed by	Joe Brandmeier
Starring	Daniel Pink

Just as we were getting used to the information age, Daniel Pink tells us that it is ending. With it goes our focus on charts, statistics, and linear thinking. Traditional andquot;left-brainandquot; activities like logic, analysis, and repetitive production are being turned over to robots, computers, and offshore labor. The valued skills of 21st century will be those of the right brain: empathy, design, synthesis, and contextual thinking. Author and lecturer Daniel Pink tells you how abundance, Asia, and automation are changing the world, why andquot;routineandquot; is the scariest word in the English language, how old line companies like GM and Proctor andamp; Gamble are responding and what six abilities matter most in the emerging age. Daniel Pink completed law school and passed the bar, but is proud to say that he has never practiced law. What he has done is write best-selling business books, work in the White House and as a Senate staffer, advise Fortune 100 companies, provide business analysis on TV and radio, and write for the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and Wired Magazine. Bonus materials include in-depth interview, audience Qandamp;A session, and more!

A Whole New Mind: Moving From the Information Age to the Conceptual Age


		In the tradition of Emotional Intelligence and Now, Discover Your Strengths, Daniel H. Pink offers a fresh look at what it takes to excel. A Whole New Mind reveals the six essential aptitudes on which professional success and personal fulfillment now depend, and includes a series of hands-on exercises culled from experts around the world to help readers sharpen the necessary abilities. This book will change not only how we see the world but how we experience it as well.

All Marketers Are Liars: The Power of Telling Authentic Stories in a Low-Trust World

By	Seth Godin

Every marketer tells a story. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, which is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better-and look cooler-than $20 no-names . . . and believing it makes it true.

Successful marketers don't talk about features or even benefits. Instead, they tell a story. A story we want to believe.

This is a book about doing what consumers demand - painting vivid pictures that they choose to believe. Every organization-from nonprofits to car companies, from political campaigns to wineglass blowers-must understand that the rules have changed (again). In an economy where the richest have an infinite number of choices (and no time to make them), every organization is a marketer and all marketing is about telling stories.

But beware: If your stories are inauthentic, you cross the line from fib to fraud. Marketers fail when they are selfish and scurrilous, when they abuse the tools of their trade and make the world worse. That's a lesson learned the hard way by telemarketers and Marlboro.

Citizen Marketers: When People Are the Message

By	Ben McConnell, Jackie Huba

As everyday people increasingly create content on behalf of companies, brands or products, they are collaborating with others just like themselves and forming ever-growing communities of enhusiasts and evangelists. From the rough to the sophisticated, the andquot;andquot;user-generated mediaandquot;andquot; of blogs, online bulletin boards, podcasts, photos, songs, and animations are influencing companies' customer relationships, product design, and marketing campaigns, whether they participate willingly or not.

Competing on Analytics


		We all know the power of the killer app. It's not just a support tool; it's a strategic weapon. Companies questing for killer apps generally focus all their firepower on the one area that promises to create the greatest competitive advantage. But a new breed of organization has upped the stakes: Amazon, Harrah's, Capital One, and the Boston Red Sox have all dominated their fields by deploying industrial-strength analytics across a wide variety of activities. At a time when firms in many industries offer similar products and use comparable technologies, business processes are among the few remaining points of differentiation--and analytics competitors wring every last drop of value from those processes.

Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting

By	Lynn Grabhorn

Is there a way to always have a fat bank account, or a better job, or a delightfully smooth relationship, or a better body? And if so, is it really possible to realize these dreams now, rather than at some unknown future time? Lynn Grabhorn answers these questions with a resounding andquot;Yes!andquot; In Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting, she says that what actually molds every moment of every day of oneand#39;s life are feelings. Using a candid, witty approach to a genre riddled with self-important puffery, she shows how feelings - not positive thinking, or sweat and strain, or good or bad luck, or even smarts - set the tone for peopleand#39;s lives. She frames her theory as a four-part plan that covers all the big topics - money, relationships, health, and spirituality - without being pompous or preachy. Grabhornand#39;s andquot;Law of Attractionandquot; lets the seeker find peace and pleasure in life by feeling rather than by thinking.

Inside Steve's Brain

By	Inside Steve

andldquo;Throughout his storied Silicon Valley career, Apple CEO and Pixar Studios founder Steve Jobs has been labeled, among other things, an egomaniac, a Zen Buddhist, a business mastermind, a sociopath and a music mogul. Blogger, author and Wired News editor Kahney, who has chronicled Apple in previous books (The Cult of Mac), attempts to plumb the depths of Jobsandrsquo;s prodigious mind in this engrossing biography. The author devotes much time to the sensational aspects of Jobsandrsquo; life, including his demeaning and ferocious interactions with employees, his relentless high-mindedness and fanatical attention to detail, clearly demonstrating how his tyrannical and perfectionist impulses have have shaped the award-winning designs and consumer-friendly products that have made Apple a juggernaut. Though it doesnandrsquo;t penetrate the Mac manandrsquo;s psyche too deeply, and sections on tangential figures like Apple design guru Jonathan Ive and Apple Store visionary Ron Johnson can meander, those searching for a telling portrait of Jobsandrsquo;s management style and its impact on Apple will not be left wanting.andrdquo;

It's in the Cards!


		All that money you spend on advertising: does it work? Of course it does. But what form of advertising is the most effective of all? Television? Radio? Newspapers? Billboards? To answer the question about your advertising, consider this: Which of the advertisements you use, when seen by one person, is most likely to result in business? The answer may surprise you, because it's one of your least expensive and smallest ads, dozens of which will fit easily into your pocket or purse: your business card.andnbsp; When you hand someone your business card, you're setting in motion a chain of contacts that can become a new branch of your network. That's why you want your card to be attention-getting, pleasing, informative, and memorable - so people will look at it, comment on it, pass it around, and keep it handy.

Purple Cow

By	Seth Godin

You're either a Purple Cow or you're not. You're either remarkable or invisible. Make your choice.

Cows, after you've seen one, or two, or ten, are boring. A Purple Cow, though...now that would be something. Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff-a lot of brown cows-but you can bet they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to your product or service. Purple Cow is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period.

In Purple Cow, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for marketers who want to help create products that are worth marketing in the first place.

By	Seth Godin

In what's likely to be the next in a string of bestselling marketing guides (after Purple Cow), Godin compiles entries from his popular blog.

Following up on the themes of his earlier books, he reminds readers that the first key to successful marketing is to produce something remarkable and let it grow. andquot;If your idea is great, people will find you,andquot; he advises. He urges people to take control of their creative lives by taking responsibility for tough decisions and pushing themselves to make bolder choices.

The Business of the 21st Century

By	Robert T. Kiyosaki , John Fleming, Kim Kiyosaki

More than andquot;just another business bookandquot;, this is truly a message of hope for those looking for the opportunity to create their own income security in this period of global economic transition.

The Business School

By	Robert T. Kiyosaki

This book was my introduction to Robert Kiyosaki and one that Iand#39;ve read several times over. Hereand#39;s why: Robert Kiyosaki doesnand#39;t say heand#39;s never been INVOLVED with networking, he has. What he says is he didnand#39;t make his fortune from network marketing. Thereand#39;s a big difference. Remember that when reading other reviews. Robert explains to the reader how his opinion of networking changed (pg. 24) when, in the early 1990and#39;s, a well-respected and financially successful friend told Robert he was involved in network marketing. With Roberts past disinterest in networking, Robert didnand#39;t understand why a man who just completed over a billion dollars in commercial real estate transaction would be involved in network marketing.

The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)

By	Seth Godin

Yet another easily digestible social marketplace commentary from the blogger/author who penned Purple Cow and Small is the New Big, Godin prescribes a cleverly counter-intuitive way to approach one's potential for success. Smart, honest, and refreshingly free of self-help posturing, this primer on winning-through-quitting is at once motivational and comically indifferent, making the lofty goal of andquot;becoming the best in the worldandquot; an achievable proposition-all you need is to andquot;start doing some quitting.andquot; The secret to andquot;strategic quittingandquot; is seeking, understanding and embracing andquot;the Dip,andquot; andquot;the long slog between starting and masteryandquot; in which those without the determination or will find themselves burning out. As such, Godin demonstrates how to identify and quit your andquot;Cul-de-Sacandquot; and andquot;Cliffandquot; situations, in which no amount of work will lead to success. Godin provides tips for finding your Dip, taking advantage of it and becoming one of the few (inevitably valuable) players to emerge on the other side; he also provides guidelines for quitting with confidence. Quick, hilarious and happily irreverent, Godin's truth-that andquot;we fail when we get distracted by tasks we don't have the guts to quitandquot;-makes excellent sense of an often-difficult career move.

The One Minute Millionaire

By	Robert G. Allen

This mega-selling twosome (Hansenand#39;s name is on every book in the Chicken Soup series and Allen wrote the bestselling real estate guide No Money Down) offers a long-winded pep talk on how just about anybody can make big money. According to the authors, andquot;At this very instant you are standing in the middle of millions.andquot; They maintain that anyone can achieve andquot;enlightenedandquot; wealth, a utopia where everyone has money and tithes, creating a better world for all. Hansen and Allenand#39;s approach is a mix of self-help and money talk, though a bit heavier on the former. The left-hand pages are a simplified explanation of how to amass millions, with options such as write a book, buy and sell real estate and start a company. The right-hand pages illustrate the same themes, via fictionalized dramas, e.g., newly widowed Michelleand#39;s struggle to come up with $1 million in cash to get her two children back from her in-laws. Hansen and Allenand#39;s feel-good suggestions run along the lines of andquot;find a mentor,andquot; andquot;use a fulcrumandquot; and andquot;be part of a team.andquot; Full of endless acronyms (e.g., andquot;System: Save Your Self Time Energy Moneyandquot;), catchy phrases (e.g., andquot;A Dream + A Team + A Theme = Millionaire Streamsandquot;) and animal imagery (butterflies, honeybees, owls and hares scamper among the pages), this offering echoes much of the self-help cacophony already out there. But its message is muddled: sometimes the millions are yours for the asking, and sometimes itand#39;s the system that keeps you down.

You The Owner's Manual

Between your full-length mirror and high-school biology class, you probably think you know a lot about the human body. While itand#39;s true that we live in an age when weand#39;re as obsessed with our bodies as we are with celebrity hairstyles, the reality is that most of us know very little about what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout this miraculous, scientific, and artistic system of anatomy. Yes, youand#39;ve owned your skin-covered shell for decades, but you probably know more about your cell-phone plan than you do about your own body. When it comes to your longevity and quality of life, understanding your internal systems gives you the power, authority, and ability to live a healthier, younger, and better life.

The flagship book of the YOU series, which spawned three subsequent New York Times bestsellers, has now been expanded and updated to make you understand your body even betterandmdash;perhaps too well.
