Is the Drive tour coming to your city?
The official rollout for the new book is still a few weeks away—but for those who are interested, we’ve posted the Drive tour dates. As you’ll see, it’s a grueling schedule. So if you make it to any of these events, feel free bring me a cup of coffee, a can of Red Bull, or a few Excedrin tablets.
Meantime, since we’ll be coming out of the box very quickly after the New Year, when many people are still in a holiday haze, I’m listing the main events of the first week below so you can plan accordingly.

P.S. If you’d like to read a free excerpt of Drive, sign up for my new free newsletter on the science and practice of motivation. Information is over there on the right. And, of course, you can be the first on your block have a copy, by pre-ordering the book from Amazon, B&N, Borders or IndieBound.

Dan,
Your forgot about the up and coming innovation central of the world, Des Moines, Iowa!
Rodger Banister on December 9, 2009
Dan – I enjoyed Whole New Mind so much that I tried to buy Drive for my Kindle today. But I can’t get it until December 29?
I understand in the physical book world how this could happen, but delaying release on the Kindle doesn’t make much sense to me.
Any way you could move up the release of Drive for Kindle and other readers?
Thanks.

Dan Pink on December 9, 2009

Not for nothing but the Chicago BunkoBreakfast pretty much pwn’d all the other BunkoBreakfasts. When’s Chicago gonna get some love?
Dan Pink on December 9, 2009
@chad — at this point, nothing in indy. maybe we could figure out a way to do it virtually.

Congratulations on the release of your new book! I’m a HUGE fan of “A Whole New Mind!”
Larry Tenney on December 11, 2009
Thanks for the advance details. Since there’s only one SoCal appearance (Pasadena) on the list, I’m going to round up a group from Orange County (some of us who saw you speak at the OC Office of Education/Arts OC luncheon a year or two ago) to make the trek to Pasadena! See you there!
Satoshi Takano on December 11, 2009
I’ll make sure to attend when you’re in Toronto! Your talk at TED has helped me take my career to a whole new level starting in 2010 — am forever grateful to you.
Please enjoy my video I made about creativity and right brain thinking.

Looking forward to your talk in Portland, Oregon. You should add Powells.com to your “favorite booksellers” link, above. Portlanders (and people who know great booksellers) love Powell’s! Safe travels.
