In recent years, as John Naisbitt gave speeches across all continents and advised political and business leaders across the world, he would be asked with greater and greater frequency: “How do you know what you know? How do go about making these insights? How can we learn the process?”
In Mind Set!, John Naisbitt reveals how to develop and experience the power of 11 cognitive tools that will allow readers to understand the trends transforming their daily life and the world around them, so they can anticipate and act on the future. In a narrative that is captivating in its scope and reach--ranging from Yao Ming and the NBA to Goethe and Global Domains--Naisbitt liberates readers from the limitations of our routine ways of thinking with a step-by-step program to incorporate these new attitudes of mind and apply them in making decisions.
Eric Conger's narration beautifully complements this excellent abridgment of Naisbitt's latest work. For fans of quick educational listens, this book delivers the essence of a powerful work from one of our great futurists. Naisbitt offers up the secrets to his forecasting success and invites us to join him in seeing the future. Conger delivers Naisbitt's insights into where America, China, and the EU are likely to wind up in the not too distant future. Conger's tone is accessible and authoritative, entirely worthy of this great author. He chooses just the right pace to make lessons about the future of nations and the importance of economic boundaries easy to absorb. M.C. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
