The Michael Gelb Interview

Coincidentally, I was in NY last week for meetings and Marvin Shanken’s industry CEO Impact Seminar and found out my friend Michael Gelb was also in town to promote his new book, “Wine Drinking For Inspired Thinking”.   We arranged to meet up at the London on 54th street and I taped our brief interview (link below).

I met Michael a couple of years back when my YPO forum brought him in as a resource for our Forum Retreat.   His specialty is Creativity and Innovation and he has written several books bringing to life the workings of DiVinci and Edison.  You can buy his book on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.  I highly recommend it.. it can help all of us think differently and more completely with both the left and importantly the right side our brains.

Here is a brief description of the book:

Unlike any other wine book, WINE DRINKING FOR INSPIRED THINKING: Uncork Your Creative Juices introduces a “whole brain” creative approach to wine appreciation.

In a delightful step-by-step fashion Gelb guides readers to express their experience of wine in poetic terms. He shows how to do this in a way that makes it easy and fun to share this exploration with family and friends or more formally as an organizational team-building exercise.

Gelb shows how the love of wine inspired the Ancient Greeks, Renaissance Masters and America’s Founding Fathers as he guides you to become part of this enlightened wave of culture. And he illuminates the greatest wine-inspired art, architecture and music.

I hope you enjoy as much it as much as I have enjoyed knowing Michael and reading his books!

Cheers!
