THIS IS THE THIRD EDITION of Out of Our Minds. I’m especially grateful to Annie Knight at Wiley for suggesting a new edition. The plain fact is that without her gentle encouragement I would probably not have thought of doing it – and I’m very pleased I did. I’m grateful too to the whole production team at Wiley, and particularly to Tessa Allen, for their care and expertise in bringing this edition to the world in such a beautiful form. Thanks are due as always to my literary agent, Peter Miller, the Literary Lion, for his passionate and constant support of my work. I must also thank Brendan Barns, founder of the London Business Forum and my first speaking agent, who was responsible, with my wife and partner Terry, for making me write the original edition of this book against an improbable deadline and with a steely determination to make sure I did. At this distance, I can say I’m grateful to them both for holding their ground while I ground away at it over the long, hot summer of 2000. I wasn’t so grateful at the time! My deepest thanks are due as always to Terry, who I celebrate at the front of the book and in everything we do together. She’s an inspiration to me and to so many others.
