About the Book – There is much advanced praise for the book including…..
“Wine Drinking for Inspired Thinking: Uncork Your Creative Juices is one of the most practical and useful books about a consumer’s experience in dealing with the subject of wine that I have ever read. There is an enormous amount of terrific, and more importantly, reliable and useful information in this book by Michael Gelb. Highly recommended.” – Robert Parker Jr., The Wine Advocate
“Few things in life are as invigorating as great wine and bold ideas. And only Michael Gelb could combine the two into a single masterful book. Uncork Your Creative Juices is an engaging and inspiring guide for everyone who wants to drink well and think big.” — Daniel H. Pink, author of A Whole New Mind
“During breaks in our off-site meeting, everyone jumped on their cell phones to check messages, or logged into email. It was surprising, then, to see the cell phones turned off and the laptops put away as we enjoyed Michael’s wine-tasting and poetry exercise. No one complained about another lame team-building program, or missing a message. Instead, we all engaged in conversation that
revealed more of ourselves, creating deeper bonds of trust. I’ve forgotten most of what we learned during the off-site’s other sessions, but I haven’t forgotten the poetry, or that evening’s conversations. Since then, I’ve recommended Michael’s unique approach to unleashing creativity to many colleagues, and can’t wait
to take the refresher course.” – Richard Eckel, Microsoft
