Last week I completed the manuscript for my next book. It is a great feeling to have it done.
Unfolding the Napkin: The Complete Workbook for Solving Complex Problems with Simple Pictures will be available in January, 2010. Like The Back of the Napkin, it will be published by Adrian Zackheim at Penguin Portfolio. Courtney Young is editing.
The Workbook covers the visual thinking concepts, tools, and rules I introduced in The Back of the Napkin, but this time I present everything through guided do-it-yourself exercises. I structured the book as a complete four-day visual-thinking seminar, taking readers step-by-step from "I can't draw" to "Here is the picture I drew that I think will save the world."
That's a big leap. But I believe it's doable. Having spent the last seven months fine-tuning every exercise, I know it is. I can't wait for you to see it for yourself.
I'll keep you posted on details as we get closer to the publication date.
Another difference in this book compared to the others in the series is that the author’s style appeared to change.

Hye Dan,
Can we use your new book to give courses here in Brasil ? how you see this kind of efforts? Can we make an agreement?
I´m planning to use your mind-toos and some Groove Consultant´s tools to give courses of visual thinking here...
What about?

Wow, Dan. Congratulations. I really loved your first book and read it in one or two days.
Looking forward for the new one, as I really love the practical approach you already showed in the case study section of your book no. 1

I recently discovered your book and when I was done, a workbook was the only "wish" I had -- so I could apply concepts before trying them out with a live audience.

Excellent! Can't wait to see it.
