About this author

edit data

John David Mann has been creating careers since he was a teenager. At age 17, he and a few friends started their own high school in Orange, New Jersey (called Changes, Inc. — you can read about it in his book, The Zen of MLM). Before turning to business and journalism, he forged a successful career as a concert cellist and prize-winning composer. At 15 he was recipient of the 1969 BMI Awards to Student Composers and several New Jersey State grants for composition; his musical compositions were performed throughout the U.S. and his musical score for Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound (written at age 13) was performed at the amphitheater in Delphi, Greece, where the play was originally premiered.

In 1986 John founded and wrote for Solstice, a journal on health, nutrition and environmental issues; his series on the climate crisis (yes, he was writing about this back in the eighties) was selected for national reprint in Utne Reader. In 1992 John helped write and produce the underground bestseller The Greatest Networker in the World, by John Milton Fogg, which became the defining book in its industry and sold over one million copies in eight languages. During the 1990s, John built a multimillion-dollar sales organization of over 100,000 people. He was cofounder and senior editor of the Upline journal and editor in chief of Network Marketing Lifestyles and Networking Times.

John is an award-winning author whose writings have earned the Nautilus Award, the Axiom Business Book Award (Gold Medal), and Taiwan’s Golden Book Award for Innovation. In addition to coauthoring the international bestseller The Go-Giver, Go-Givers Sell More, and It’s Not About You with Bob Burg, he is also coauthor of the New York Times bestseller The Red Circle with Brandon Webb; the New York Times bestseller Flash Foresight with Daniel Burrus; Take the Lead with Betsy Myers (named “best leadership book of 2011” by Tom Peters and the Washington Post); Code to Joy with Dr. George Pratt, PhD, and Dr. Peter Lambrou, PhD; and The Secret Language of Money with David Krueger, MD. His writing credits in the past few years also include the New York Times bestseller The Answer by John Assaraf and Murray Smith; The Vision Board Book by John Assaraf, Success for Teens with The Success Foundation, The Business of the 21st Century by Robert Kiyosaki, The Next Millionaires by Paul Zane Pilzer, and The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. In 2007 he published The Zen of MLM, a collection of his writings from the past two decades.

He is married to Ana Gabriel Mann and considers himself the luckiest mann in the world. You can visit him at www.johndavidmann.com.

I love everything Gaiman, but this is perhaps the most powerful -- a children's book, yes, but one of the scariest and most powerful stories I've read.

This was the book that taught me how things work. Applying its teachings has earned me several million dollars and made a good deal more sense out of life.
