Ping: A Frog in Search of a New Pond - Hardcover

Stuart Avery Gold is a zentrepreneur, author, future-finder, and both imagineer and champion of imagineers. He is co-author of Success at Life; Dragon Spirit; Tiger Heart, Tiger Mind; Wowisms; and The Zentrepreneur's Idea Log and Workbook. Translated into many languages around the world, the books have been lauded by Tom Peters, Seth Godin, Al Ries, Jeffrey Fox, Cheryl Richardson, and Melinda Davis, and described by Newsweek as "a blend of business advice and spiritual teachings for the 21st century." Currently Gold consults with entrepreneurs and corporations, and writes and speaks about success strategies for personal and business empowerment. He has lectured at numerous schools including Wharton School of Business, New School University, and Parson's School of Design, and at Fortune 500 companies including American Express. He is based in Boca Raton, Florida.

Christopher Lane puts his vocal artistry to good use in this compact parable about breaking free from old ways. His sonority and interpretive range combine to make Gold's message memorable and inspiring. Full of timeless aphorisms about personal change, the story involves several young frogs who leave the safety of a familiar pond to look for opportunity in the great ocean. With encouragement and guidance from others, they learn to find purpose and trust themselves, rather than worrying about obstacles. The most potent message for many listeners will be Gold's eloquent reminder that focused actions are more important than merely dreaming of greatness. A classic achievement audio for anyone hindered by fear or lack of self-confidence. T.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
