The Age of Speed by Vince Poscente

I just finished reading The Age of Speed by Vince Poscente, founder of the Be Invinceable Group.  Some of you will remember him as our opening keynote speaker at the NAMSS conference in Phoenix in 2005.  (And by the way, if you don't know the inside story about that, our originally scheduled keynote canceled at the last minute and Vince stepped in to save a somewhat panicked conference committee.  Trust me, after hearing Vince we never had any regrets about that original cancellation!)

Vince competed for Canada in the Olympic games as a speed skier, and now works with clients on developing business strategies and overcoming obstacles. He is also a Certified Speaking Professional, and for those of you who have never heard him speak, if you get the opportunity by all means take advantage of it.

First the disclaimer.  Vince sent me a prepublication copy of his book and asked that I submit a review of it to Amazon.com.  Believe me, I was thrilled when I started reading and discovered I really liked it.  I would not have enjoyed being in the position of trying to find something good to say... "well, the cover was really nice..." 

I read Vince's earlier book, The Ant and the Elephant, and while I enjoyed it, I liked The Age of Speed better. 

My review:

Take time to read Vince Poscente's THE AGE OF SPEED, especially if you don't think you could possibly find time to read one more thing. Vince writes for us, the have it all, do it all, stay connected to it all, generation. Since he knows his audience well, the book is a quick read.

Vince translates some of our most deeply rooted beliefs and habits into simple, meaningful concepts that may help the reader see him/herself in a whole new light. (Ever acted like a bottle rocket?) He also sprinkles interesting "fast facts" throughout the text.

Recommended reading!
