Tom Peters: "Get China On Your Mind!"
Read up on China.
Read books.
Troll the Web.
Talk to people about China.
Initiate a China Study Group.
Ponder China.
Visit China.
Make China “meditation” part of your day’s ritual.
This applies whatever you’re about. This is not a “call to action” so much as a “call to awareness.” Ignorance about China (India) (Asia) is
… simply … NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Hint (per me):
China is not a “problem.”
China is not a “threat.”
China may not be an “opportunity.”
China is a Reality … a Part of Our Lives. (Period.)
Act accordingly.

Podcast: Malcolm Gladwell at Pop!Tech 2004
Archived audio (streaming or Mp3) at ITConversations.com of Malcolm Gladwells (The tipping Point") presentation entitled Human Nature from Pop!Tech 2004. There's a bunch of other interesting stuff in there as well.
Here’s the description: "Malcolm explores why we cant trust people's opinions – because we dont have the language to express our feelings. His examples include the story of New Coke and how Cokes market research misled them, and the development of Herman-Millers Aeron chair, the best-selling chair in the history of office chairs, which succeeded in spite of research that suggested it would fail."
I am currently reading the book, which is fantastic - essential MindBomb reading. Put "Blink" in the amazon search box on the right for more reviews.
