Naisbitt's New Book

Today I read a book review in the Northwest Airlines' in-flight magazine of John Naisbitt's latest book -- "Mindset! Re-set your thinking and see the future", http://www.naisbitt.com/

Naisbitt is best known for his "Megatrends" books which the book reviewer mentioned -- 1.) Megatrends and 2.) Megatrend 2000 but the reviewer failed to mention Naisbitt's third book in the series -- "Megatrends for Women" -- which I thought most interesting since women are clearly on the rise in the USA with the pending election of Representative Nancy Pelosi to be the next Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

I have read all three of Naisbitt's megatrends books which I found to be educational. Although the books are a bit dated now they are still worth a quick review since several of Naisbitt's observations seem to have been overlooked such as his comment that "oil companies need to re-assess what they are in the marketplace -- they need to say 'we are ENERGY companies not OIL companies who meet the energy needs of our customers' "

One last observation that I offer from "Megatrends for Women" is that the high incidence of heart attacks/strokes for women is really overlooked by the medical community but perhaps Speaker Pelosi will bring new attention to this disparity in health care.

Keep turning pages,

Todd
