New Book: How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything

The new book is How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything...in Business (and in Life) by Dov L. Seidman.

Have you kind of, sort of, followed some of the news about students getting into trouble for posts about their teachers on their MySpace pages? Has the US Attorneys scandal penetrated through the news well enough for you so that you understand the role that blogs played in encouraging tens of thousands of 'Netizens to scour through thousands of pages of PDF documents dumped onto the Internet by the Department of Justice? Do you occasionally wonder about if there ever again is really going to be anything like what we remember privacy to be?

Dov Seidman says we need to get used to it:

We will never become less connected. We will never become less transparent…With all these changes to the way we live, connect and conduct our professional and personal lives, the questions become: How do we now thrive? How can we turn these challenges into strengths?
