Elastic Minds: What are you thinking?

This book highlights the elastic minds of several small business owners and leaders striving to achieve goals and sustain the American dream, which is to be self-deterministic. Creative abilities are highly desired attributes by most people. Musicians, artists, and business innovators are highly admired by people with an appreciation for achievements beyond the ordinary. In popular culture, fans celebrate the performance of others to the point of devotion. Most of the people we admire often have the gift of the elastic mind. People with elastic minds have the ability to hit the winning basket during a basketball game, sing with grace and feelings, or innovate the next technology that changes the business landscape. The skills of the elastic mind are, at times, the gifts we’re born with or the results of sweat and tears. Either way, we have the “can do” attitude that empower the creative and innovative spirit within. We’re able to live in the now, learn fast from the past, and define a strategic view for the future. But, some are spiritually aware of the fruits of eternity. A spiritually attuned person brings grace and peace in their presence. This book asks what type of thinking is deployed by elastic minds. It could be one or more of the following forms of thinking: 1) creative, 2) critical, 3) strategic, 4) design, 5) lean, and 6) systems thinking. We aren’t cognizant of the applied thinking classification when our elastic minds are in full throttle. But with intentional behavior, most people will exercise one or more of the thinking classifications to innovate, express creativity, or solve a problem.

J. Freeman-Stack: Learn How Elastic Minds Think

This book does an excellent job of discussing the skills of an elastic mind and highlighting the stories of business professionals who have faced hurdles in their professional and personal lives and have responded by reimagining ways to create businesses, engage colleagues or lead teams in learning and business development/growth, and invent and utilize tools to change markets. The book is an excellent reference for anyone interested in learning about the thinking deployed by elastic minds.

T. Guevara: This is a great and very profound book. Every time I read a book, I look for something new, something that will capture my interest and keep on reading, this book has that ability. I thought at first, tell me something I don't know yet, but as I was reading, I was amazed at confirmation of what I knew before about life and has forgotten as time passes by. It was a reminder of my life and my struggles as I was building my work experiences. It brought reminiscence of my drive to succeed, and how I mindfully orchestrate the path that I laid bricks toward success. I just kept on reading and it ignites the drive to do better because the laying of bricks do not stop as the direction changes. You just need the elastic mind to recognize the flow and move with it. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

K. Pham: This is a great book. It's a definite reference book for me to find ways to get things done whether in work, business or everyday life. We’re living in a very competitive world today with globalization in much of our lives.

This book will help open your elastic mind to accomplish the things you want to accomplish.
