In Doc Searls Wants You to Join Him in The Intention Economy , Scott Merrill writes in Techcrunch , The book is easy to read, written in Searls’ first-person voice. While he can’t directly link from the content of the book, each chapter contains numerous footnotes with additional information and URLs to further reading. I’m not an economist, so I was marginally worried that the book would be heavy on economic theory.

When I started the quest of writing my first book — aside from the instant classic I wrote as a 9 year-old that detailed with intricate depth the entire universe of Star Wars droids — I debated how to actually write it. I’m a digital packrat; I collect academic studies, documents, quotes, words, sites, books, articles and emails. If it were 2007, I might have written the book entirely in Microsoft Word. I would have become a book writing Word ninja.

Tweet I had the pleasure of writing an article for the book, Enabling Innovation: Innovative Capability – German and International Views as a follow-up to some work I did with the EU’s International Monitoring Organisation.

While I understand the industry typically defaults to having quotes from famous people waxing lyrical about the contents of said book, I refused and ultimately balked at this approach. My idea at first was to simply have a QR code that — after being scanned — would lead the reader to a video of me talking about the book. The pixels, letters and words in the book are a reflection of the people who have helped shape me into the person I am today.

Like my first book, Flat Army: Creating a Connected and Engaged Organization , Book Two has taken a decided turn for the better. The original title was “ The Coffee Shop Leader” One day, I may even release the entirety of the book in its original format. The same can be said for this next book. I had written 45,000 words and through various pieces of feedback and counsel, the book has morphed. The next book is focused on leaders.

I finished off the forward to a forthcoming book about Cynefin in Japanese a day or so ago. The post A forward to a Cynefin book appeared first on Cognitive Edge. I wrote it in a fairly discursive and personal form and thought it might be useful to share it here. I’ve illustrated the post with two pictures by the great Welsh painter Kyffin Williams from whose work I got the idea to use the name. I wrote the material fairly quickly once I finally got started.

I’m very excited to announce my next book — Wonderland: How Play Made The Modern World , to be published in November by my long-time publisher Riverhead Books. The book is in many ways a sequel to How We Got To Now, though it also has some thematic links that connect it back to Everything Bad Is Good For You. There’s a longer post introducing the book at Medium if you’re interested.
