YONKERS, NY, February 17, 2011

A new book titled, Connected Dreams: How Ideas Move and Connect in Unexpected Ways, written by TEDGlobal Fellow 2007 Joseph Nyangon, discusses new paradigms of points of power and influence—collaboration, empowerment, redefinition of challenges, and accountability—that shape the way we look at one another—and ourselves—and proposes new ways of building a better and more cooperative world based on intrinsic motivators.

Connected Dreams reveals that the subject of how to connect, empower, and influence decision making process at different levels and sectors, how to think and advance multi-channel communication, and how to use innovation and technology to give wings to customization, is of the greatest interest as the line between consumer and producer becomes blurred.

The book argues that the answer to whether tomorrow's employees, for example, will be less empowered by technology than consumers lies not just in employees getting airtime on mainstream communication channels but also listening in on social networks and online communities, to find out what is being discussed, the core values that influence the decision-making process, the issues that foster how connected and empowered people become, and circumstances that motivate people to break new grounds through a host of choices.

Nyangon writes that "the world is becoming more like the United Nations—people are expected to speak more than one language, learn about different cultures, live and work with people who don't look like them, or think like them." More still, between collaboration and empowerment, and the objectives they seek to advance lay connectedness. In particular, collaboration by facilitating honest relationships, nurturing teamwork, embracing strong values, fostering less hierarchy, and offering feedback.
