Ever been to so many meetings that you couldn’t get your work done?Ever fallen asleep during a bulletpoint presentation? Ever watched thenews and ended up knowing less? Welcome to the land of Blah Blah Blah.
The Problem: We talk so much that we don’t think very as words are, we fool ourselves when we think our words alonecan detect, describe, and defuse the multifaceted problems of can’t-and that’s bad, because words have become our defaultthinking tool.
The Solution: This book offers a way out of blah-blah-blah. It’s called “Vivid Thinking.”
In Dan Roam’s first acclaimed book, The Back of the Napkin,he taught readers how to solve problems and sell ideas by drawingsimple pictures. Now he proves that Vivid Thinking is even morepowerful. This technique combines our verbal and visual minds so thatwe can think and learn more quickly, teach and inspire our colleagues,and enjoy and share ideas in a whole new way.
The Destination: No more blah-blah-blah. Through VividThinking, we can make the most complicated subjects suddenly crystalclear. Whether trying to understand a Harvard Business School class, orwhat went down in the Conan versus Leno battle for late-night TV, orwhat Einstein thought about relativity, Vivid Thinking provides a wayto clarify anything.
Through dozens of guided examples, Roam proves that anyone can applythis systematic approach, from leftbrain types who hate to draw toright-brainers who hate to write. This isn’t just a book aboutimproving communications, presentations, and ideation; it’s aboutremoving the blah-blah- blah from your life for good.
