Tangental side note... Mr. Pink & Sir Robinson are doing this in November. This is not an official endorsement, just an event brought to my attention by @dcinc66, curator of TEDxNYEducation.

What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is call TEDxNewYork, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxNewYork event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Wish I could have made this one!!! Right up my line of work and this guy had some very good points
ReplyDeleteHighly recommend Dan Ariely's "Predictably Irrational"

In the first chapter Dan totally destroys all the basic assumptions behind the supply demand curve. Exciting stuff :)
