Tribute to Steve Jobs at BK Publication Board Last Week

Berrett-Koehler has been partnering with the iBookstore team at Apple since the iPad was announced in January 1984.  My relationship with Apple goes back to 1980, when I started selling VisiCalc (the original Excel spreadsheet) on Apple II computers in the financial district of San Francisco to flabbergasted investment bankers and Lawrence Livermore scientists.  They couldn't believe such a scrappy little plastic…

Charlie Rose Interviews Warren Buffett on Taxing the Rich

This Charlie Rose interview of Warren Buffettwas the best 51-minute investment of time I spent this week. I wish every Democrat, Independent, and Republican would watch this interview. I consider Warren Buffet to be one of our national treasurers.…

Funny Cartoon About Authors

One of my favorite "Pepper...and Salt" cartoons from The Wall Street Journal is a man at a cocktail party introducing two people, a man and a woman, with the words, "Amazon sales rank 389,264, meet 368,493." Oh, so true!

Who Will Blog on the BKcommunity Site?

I am hopeful that we will see blogs from BK authors, BK staff members, BK partners, and our biggest BK stakeholder group: BK readers. Each member will be able to speak to the entire BKcommunity all the time. For those approximate 40 BK authors who already have their own blog site, we can simply bring them into this conversation via RSS feeds. For all the other BK authors (400+) who have not tried blogging yet, the BKcommunity blogging function is a great place to start. I look forward to…

About Me

I'm enjoying two professional lives, one as a bestselling co-author of family comunication books (published by Hyperion Books and Broadway Books), and the other as the Director for Digital Communities for Berrett-Koehler Publishers,

My family communication books, most of whom were co-authored with my wife Kate, include What I Love About You (Broadway Books/Random House, 100,000 sold), The Book of Myself: A Do-It-Yourself Autobiography in 201 Questions (300,000 copies sold), The Book of Us: A Journal of Your Love Story (160,000 copies sold), both from Hyperion Books/Disney, Words to Live By, and new in 2009: Picture of Me. Visit our Marshall Books website for more information.

At BK, I do cool digital things like develop BKcommunity.com, produce new digital products such as toolkits, self-assessments, webinar archives, and Apple apps, and use the power of the Internet to buzz BK books through Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon on other social media networks. I also worked on some pretty cool viral marketing BK Book Internet Movies using Flash technology.

Thank you David.

hi David -- I'm definitely interested in the article format you mentioned on the community landing page. I wasn't sure how to comment on that thread, though, so just pinged you instead.

 

I'm about to launch on a trip of a lifetime to write a book & film a documentary on transformation via personal hardship. Here is the webpage: http://spokencoast.org  

 

Currently, I can write on these kinds of topics: project planning & management, self-employment, losing a loved one to cancer, learning a new skill/sport/activity, outdoor education & recreation, wilderness first aid, injuries & recovery from them to do outdoor things, and many more. 

 

Please let me know if you'd like me to write something specifically, or if anything on my webpage is interesting to you. 

 

My previous blog on cancer is here: http://unravelcancer.blogspot.com

 

Many thanks,

Marissa

Leapfrogging: Harness the Power of Surprise for Business Breakthroughs by Soren Kaplan at Berrett-Koehler headquarters - San Francisco, California

Thumbnail
January 4, 2012 from 11:30am to 1pm
Today's business environment demands rapid, disruptive innovation, but where do major breakthroughs come from? A leading innovation pioneer turns traditional wisdom on its head --you don't innovate by studying the competition, but by looking within yourself. "Leapfrogging" is the process of bypassing your mental limitations to create transformative, not incremental, change.See More

Blistering Review of Kindle Fire in New York Times

Sunday’s edition of The New York Times came out with a strong critique of the Amazon Fire, the first major public slamming I’ve seen. My own view is that Bezos will get it right eventually, both through short-term software upgrades and the next versions in 2012 and beyond, so the Amazon Fire will not go…See More
