The next big thing in thinking from the best-selling author of Megatrends and Megatrends 2000. John Naisbitt explains the attitudes and skills anyone can use (in whatever walk of live) to anticipate the future and respond to the realities of globalization.
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 you go about making these insights? How can we learn the process?’ In Mind Set! he 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 that they can anticipate and act on the future. The book is divided into 2 sections: the first deals with the 11 mindsets the author uses to help you see the future; in the second part he lays out five pictures of the future that outline the major global shifts that must inform everyone’s thinking.

Please send cash, check, or money order to my PO Box or physical address, or you may pay online with your credit card using the ABE Commerce purchase option, or via PayPal at www.paypal.com specifying payment to my email address. For PayPal-purchased books under $10, I request an additional fee of $0.50 to offset the transaction fee that PayPal charges me. Overseas PayPal customers may make payment in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling, or Euros after factoring the appropriate conversion rates.
Sales tax of 8.125 is charged on shipments to California addresses.
To guarantee delivery of books, buyers should request and pay for postal insurance. This costs $1.30 for the first $50 of coverage, $2.20 for $100 of coverage, plus $1 additional for each additional $100 of coverage. Insurance is not available for international orders unless shipped via parcel post, which itself costs additional.
Please note that a listed book may have been sold to a prior buyer and not yet removed from the database. I will hold books for 10 days while awaiting payment.
If you wish to see a photo or scan of any book, I can email an electronic image to you. However, this may take extra time.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you place an ABE Book Order without specifying payment type, please be aware that the book is automatically removed from the online database when you do this, and thus you will no longer find the book online afterwards. If you later decide you wish to pay for your order by credit card, please contact me via email and I will restore the book to the online database so that you may find it online to order and pay for it using the ABECommerce option.
