  His 1994 book, Global Paradox, received England's World Review Award for The Best Book of The Year. Megatrends Asia in 1995 was a bestseller in the German language and in Asia. High Tech High Touch, was published in the fall of 1999 and has since been published in 17 countries.

His latest book Mind Set! was published worldwide in English by Collins in October 2006, in November 2006 in Korea and Taiwan, and will be published in 36 countries during the year 2007.
The Wall Street Journal called his work “triumphantly useful…taking bearings in all directions and giving us the courage to do the same.”
John Naisbitt’s goal is to motivate and inspire his audience to see the future as something we can have access to, if we deliberately develop mindsets as a tool to see and evaluate the seeds and signs of change, which in time will built the future.
