This is a short post to all my those who have Daniel Pink’s book, A Whole New Mind,(sorry Chris 
) and are ready to begin the book club.
I have a copy, finally. I will begin reading vorociously but don’t want to keep anyone back from getting going. I think that the time is ripe for us to begin discussing the book, the threads and the implications. I’ve been pondering how to do this while trying to maintain the hectic lives we all live. Check out David’s last adventure (jealousy and envy are at war within me over this!) to see how some of us spend our time.
I’ll get to the wiki this weekend, put the pages together and then let the wikiing begin. (wikiing – can we make that a verb like skiing?) I suggest that people figure out what chapter they would like to delve into, give some opening remarks or whatever and then we can explore the links and resources, discuss and dialogue about what we find, discover, agree/disagree, etc.
Have a great weekend. Btw, if you have any ideas, please share.

Enjoy the book. I read it a while back and loved it. And be sure to go to some of the websites he suggests in the activities sections.
Forgive me, but isn’t it Daniel Pink?
Kelly,
Just listed to Alan November’s interview with Daniel Pink (part 1, part 2 and part 3 to come) – thought you might like it too.
Our group at school tackles about 3 chapters at a time. I don’t know if you want to “chop it up” like that, but it might make for more coherent discussion if we do it by sections rather than having everyone talking about different parts of the book that others haven’t read yet?
Just an idea…!
Kelly,
Glad to see you got the book! Since my little adventure I have been scared to look at my feedreader and tackle all that I missed.
I have added the tabs to the wiki- go ahead and add your names to the chapters you would like to explore!
mscofino, I came across the Alan November interview and wasn’t sure if I should see the interviews first or read the book first… What do you suggest?

Dave,
It was a nice intro to the book – they don’t (as far as I can tell – since I haven’t started the book yet) discuss any specific aspects of the book. I love Alan November’s podcasts because they are short and to-the-point. These were great conversations starters – maybe even a good way to start off some book club discussions? I say go for it!
