Daniel Pink, who I consider to be the most significant business author and thought leader of our time, started the new year of right – he hosted an exclusive teleseminar for the launch of his new book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us (not an affiliate link).

The teleseminar was exclusive to people who purchased the book before Christmas. I felt lucky to be on the call! First of all, Daniel Pink is a marketing genius, because he used this teleseminar to drive (no pun attended) pre-order sales of his book. Additionally, he gave callers the low-down on what resources, blogs, newspapers, et al. he will be watching in 2010 and I wanted to share this exclusive list with you.

1. An inspirational video with the two questions (http://www.danpink.com/archives/2010/01/2questionsvideo).

2. The 10 publications, books, and blogs to watch are:
