Synopsis

In his seminal works Megatrends and Megatrends 2000, John Naisbitt proved himself one of the most far-sighted and accurate observers of our fast-changing world. Mind Set! goes beyond that—Mind Set! discloses the secret of forecasting. John Naisbitt gives away the keys to the kingdom, opening the door to the insights that let him understand today's world and see the opportunities of tomorrow. He selected his most effective tools, 11 Mind Sets, and applies them by guiding the reader through the five forces that will dominate the next decades of the 21st century. Ilustrated by stories about Galileo and Einstein to today's icons and rebels in business, science, and sports, Mind Set! opens your eyes to see beyond media headlines, political slogans, and personal opinions, to select and judge what will form the pictures of the future.

Goodreads review by Bobparr on September 26, 2017

Questo fa coppia con il libro sui cigni neri, con la differenza che è stato sritto nel 2006 - fa coppia come esempi, come spavalderia, come saccenza. Le intuizioni di Naisbitt sono abbastanza pratiche: il mondo nel quale vive l'autore è tuttavia un mondo lussuoso, tra alberghi a cinque stelle, inter......more

Goodreads review by Gatot on December 24, 2022

Who doesn't know John Naisbitt? When I took up my assignment at the ITB Industrial Engineering Department, Prof. Dr. Anang Zaini Gani, my supervisor, handed me a book entitled "Megatrends" which, really, I didn't understand what it meant. He assigned me to study the book in one of the courses I took......more

Goodreads review by Hans on April 20, 2023

Ein Blick von oben, auf lange Erfahrung beruhend. Alles mit anschaulichen Beispielen und gut nachvollziehbar beschrieben. Geht es im ersten Teil um Mindsets, Entwicklungen möglichst gut einzuordnen, beschreibt Naisbitt im zweiten Teil Megatrends. Der Umgang mit Ihnen auf europäischer Seite ist im Gr......more

Goodreads review by path on May 18, 2022

The book is built around eleven “mindsets” or heuristics for reflecting on our actions and thoughts. Some are kind of dull and obvious and others have some depth to consider. The book is rather fluffy in terms of argument and largely leans on personal anecdotes and candied morsels of history as the......more
