My Books
A book for inspiration written by ‘street-o-logist’ Pim van den Berg with lots of do’s and dont’s for the reader and how you can still see those little wonderful things of life. Street-o-logy is a perfect way to open your eyes and throw away your assumptions. The effect might be that managers put their thick reports in the dustbin and take the brave decision to do their homework better and differently. Hit the road, walk around, walk to others places than you normally would do. Look with a clear vision and see. A true eyeopener also by the reality photos which Van den Berg has taken.
A brand new initiative which is already a big succes in Denmark. KaosPilots: a school that attracts the creative outsider. KaosPilots demand much of themselves and life in general. They are entrepreneurial young adults with their hearts in the right place, who want to make a positive difference in the world.
KaosPilots belong to a new generation; they are curious and creative young people with ability to lead, to start new businesses and to add value-thinking to society’s many agendas. Have a look yourself at their website.
This is what they say it is. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant – in the blink of an eye – that actually aren’t as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept’ Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error’ How do our brains really work – in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom’ And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others’ .
Dany Jacobs also wishes to thank Thijs Broekhuizen, Paula Buit, Ritzo ten Cate, Jenny Elissen, Lucie Huiskens, Otto Lappöhn, Marco Mossinkoff, Diane Nijs, Theo Postma, Hendrik Snijders and Véronique Timmerhuis for stimulating discussions and very useful comments on previous drafts of this text.
