  Since Megatrends, his first published book in 1982, the future
has been in the center of John Naisbitt's field of activity as an author and speaker. The culmination of nearly a decade of research, Megatrends is one of publishing's greatest success stories.
It was at the top of the New York Times best-seller list for more than 2 years, published in 57 countries, and sold more than 9 million copies.

John Naisbitt is often called the global philosopher among futurists. With his “astonishingly precise predictions” (Financial Times) and inspiring message he is one of the most sought after speakers in the world. He has experience in top management, in politics -- as assistant secretary of education to President John Kennedy and special assistant to President Lyndon Johnson -- and as an entrepreneur. His picture of the future is not only formed by the research he does. He has traveled the world since the late 1960s, keeping in close connection with corporations and people in different fields of endeavor. He has spoken to virtually every major corporation, to many several times.
His cultural life and residence in the United States, Asia and now Europe keep him directly in touch with a changing economic environment -- experience that is reflected in the books he
has written.

John Naisbitt published the international bestsellers Re-inventing the Corporation in 1985, Megatrends 2000 in 1990, which was published in 32 countries and the Number One bestseller in the U.S., Japan, and Germany, and Megatrends for Women in 1992, (co-authored with Patricia Aburdene). His Japanese language book, Japan's Identity Crisis, was released in 1992 and was a bestseller in Japan.
