I think this book is sensational as it helps us review why we make silly decisions in personal and business life.  It’s well written and easy to read.

My prediction is that this will be one of the "buzz books" to read this year.

In this very readable book by Australian business speaker Peter Sheahan, you’ll learn how conventional strategy needs to be turned on its head if you want to be successful in the future. 

Sheahan gives great examples and lists some steps you should take to create success in the future.

Because of that, there's a danger people will assume Penn’s wisdom in this book is wrong.  Such thinking is a mistake because Hillary’s failure is down to other factors. 

Mark Penn’s Micro Trends still plots a lot of the small trends that may change your world.

He goes beyond what most people are talking about today and predicts everything from computers with capacity greater than our brains to nano-technology and the change from a world where bosses pick staff to where talented people pick bosses. 

It’s a bit of a shock and awe book about the future.  And even if some of the predictions don’t come true, it still gives us an idea about the direction we’re headed.

He focuses on a number and then makes a few predictions.  One of which is the increasingly visual nature of communication. 

This is a thinking person’s book – well argued and fascinating analysis of the key trends.  Compelling reading.
