Blah Blah Blah: What To Do When Words Don't Work by Dan Roam
Ever been to so many meetings that you couldn't get your work done? Ever fallen asleep during a bulletpoint presentation? Ever watched the news 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 well. Powerful as words are, we fool ourselves when we think our words alone can detect, describe, and defuse the multifaceted problems of today. They can't-and that's bad, because words have become our default thinking 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 drawing simple pictures. Now he proves that Vivid Thinking is even more powerful. This technique combines our verbal and visual minds so that we 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 Vivid Thinking, we can make the most complicated subjects suddenly crystal clear. Whether trying to understand a Harvard Business School class, or what went down in the Conan versus Leno battle for late-night TV, or what Einstein thought about relativity, Vivid Thinking provides a way to clarify anything.
Through dozens of guided examples, Roam proves that anyone can apply this systematic approach, from leftbrain types who hate to draw to right-brainers who hate to write. This isn't just a book about improving communications, presentations, and ideation; it's about removing the blah-blah- blah from your life for good.
DAN ROAM is the author of The Back of the Napkin, the most popular visual-thinking business book of all time, which has become an international bestseller. It was chosen the best creative and innovation book of the year by Fast Company, BusinessWeek, and The Times (of London). Unfolding the Napkin and Blah Blah Blah are two of his previous works. Dan is the founder and president of Digital Roam Inc., a consulting organization that uses visual thinking to solve difficult challenges for companies including Google, Boeing, eBay, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, Wells Fargo, and the United States government. The United States Navy, as well as the U.S.
