Back in The Asian Journal

JavyWG — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 22:03:30 +0000

Hey all,
Just thought I’d let you know that I’m mentioned again in the latest edition of The Asian Journal. This week they did a year-in-review of the people they featured in 2010. So, if you missed grabbing a copy of my feature last year, you can grab a copy of The Asian Journal for the week of January 7th-13th.

Or you can just check out the article online: http://www.asianjournal.com/aj-magazine/something-filipino/8398-a-year-at-a-glance-something-filipinos-cover-stories-in-2010.html

Hey All,

In case you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve been featured in the Asian Journal. Specifically, a great article was put together for the newspaper’s “Something Filipino” section. The paper gave the book and I great coverage.

Grab a copy of the paper if you have access to it (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York). Or you can checkout the article online.

Top 100 Books on Creativity

JavyWG — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 21:53:00 +0000

Hey all,

Just wanted to thank everyone again who has supported The Power of Thinking Differently. We’ve once again broken into Amazon’s top #100 books on creativity.

Anytime I have the opportunity to show gratitude to everyone who has been a supporter of this material, I’ll do it. Also, with so many books written on the subject, being in the top 100 is a landmark worth recognizing.

Also, if you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve started posting free articles and podcasts online at PicklesAndDoughnuts.com. I’ll have some great interviews with people who have taken creative approaches in life. I think it’s a great way to honor the unconventional, creative paths others have taken. Plus, I love learning more about creativity through the experience of others. I hope you enjoy it as well.

thanks,

Javy

Silicon Valley Creativity Author Javy W. Galindo Launches “Thinking Differently” Book Tour

Creative change and the discovery of unique ideas are key topics for “The Power of Thinking Differently” book tour taking place throughout the California Bay Area, with virtual stops around the world.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sunnyvale, CA – Nov 16, 2009 – Interested in making a creative change, finding a fresh perspective, or enhancing your creative expression? Creative thinking author Javy W. Galindo will be discussing these topics and more on his “Thinking Differently Book Tour” beginning November 16th, 2009.

“This tour is going to be a lot of fun. I love encouraging others to access their inherent creativity to think beyond habit and conventional wisdom,” said the Sunnyvale based author.

Galindo’s book on the creative process has already been garnering rave reviews from experts, book reviewers, and book lovers alike.

According to the Midwest Book Review, the book “encourages readers to overcome the barriers to creative thinking and gain a better sense of humor…‘The Power of Thinking Differently’ is a solid and highly recommended read for those who want to best understand how to put their mind to work.”

The book is “designed to help readers get a new perspective on just about anything,” notes Darragh Doiron of The Port Arthur News. “Readers should be warned to be ready for change.”

“Galindo clearly explains the roots of creativity in the brain and how to overcome one’s own blockages and obstacles in order to…reach a higher state of personal satisfaction,” writes reviewer Susan Reimers of BestSellersWorld.com. “While this book should appeal to those in business, government and science, it can equally benefit all persons who go about their lives looking to make their personal islands a bit more interesting and productive.”
