Synopses & Reviews
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 reachandndash;andndash;ranging from Yao Ming and the NBA to Goethe and Global Domainsandndash;andndash;Naisbitt liberates readers from the limitations of our routine ways of thinking with a stepandndash;byandndash;step program to incorporate these new attitudes of mind and apply them in making decisions.
Naisbitt's Mind Set! has the actionable, big ideas and global economic forecasting that senior executives are demanding of highandndash;level books today. Just as powerfully, the stories, examples, and voice of Mind Set! will connect with the nonandndash;business reader from the suburbs to the college campus. Underlying the mind sets is Naisbitt's sensibility that we need greater balance between the pace of technological change and the humanistic skills of selfandndash;knowledge, and his faith in the endless promise and power of learning.
