5 Things That Matter and 5 Surprises That Don’t
 

Building upon Jonathan Fields multi-year, global quest documented in his acclaimed Good Life Project, attendees will discover the critical experiences, practices and strategies that make the biggest difference in the ability to live a great life and the pervasive illusions that keep us from the same.

How to Rewire Your Brain to Tap Your Inner Savant
 

Everyone is focusing on thinking and creative “systems,” but the best thinking systems will always be limited by the ability of the “thinkers” to tap their full creative and cognitive potential.

 

This Jonathan Fields talk reveals a series of practices that optimize not just the thinking system, but the thinker, fueling next-level innovation, creativity and problem-solving.

Jonathan Fields is an author, entrepreneur and speaker on a mission to help individuals and organizations cultivate the personal practices, workflow adaptations and environmental/cultural shifts needed to become more agile, creative and innovative and embrace action in the face of uncertainty with a greater sense of ease.

A former NYC mega-firm/SEC lawyer turned serial-entrepreneur, Jonathan Fields founded two cutting-edge boutique lifestyle/fitness facilities – Sedona Private Fitness and Sonic Yoga – the latter in the shadow of 9-11 in Hell’s Kitchen, NY.

He quickly grew both into industry-leading businesses, generating international media-attention and raising the bar for business, marketing and programming trends. He eventually sold both companies to focus on writing, training and speaking…and being a strongly present dad and husband.

Now an author, innovation catalyst and speaker, Fields writes AdAge Power 150 blog, and contributes to PsychologyToday.com, Amex OPENForum and a number of other top-100 blogs.

His first book, Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love, was named a Top 10 Small Business Book by Small Business Trends and a Top 5 Summer Read by MSNBC’s Your Business.

Jonathan Fields second book, Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt Into Fuel for Brilliance (Portfolio Sept 2011), has generated extraordinary praise from the likes of Zappos’ Tony Hseih, Dan Pink, Gretchen Rubin, Steve Pressfield and dozens of other leaders in the worlds of creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership.

Its in-depth, provocative, and highly-practical approach to embracing uncertainty as a catalyst for innovation delivers the perfect message and set of tools for our times. And, 800-CEO-READ named Uncertainty the #1 Personal Development book of 2011.

Jonathan Fields is regularly featured as an expert in the media, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, FastCompany, Inc.com, Entrepreneur, USA Today, Reuters, People, CNBC, Fox Business, CBS Radio, Vogue, Elle, How, Self, Fitness, People, O magazine and thousands of websites. BusinessWeek named him one of the 20 people every entrepreneur needs to follow on twitter (@jonathanfields).

Jonathan also speaks regularly at major conferences, keynotes for private corporate events and conducts his own trainings. And in 2009, he launched book-marketing educational venture, Tribal Author, to help teach authors and aspiring authors how to build and deploy online platforms and marketing campaigns.

When not writing, speaking or building something, you can usually find him dancing around his living room with his wife and daughter….and writing in the third person.
