[From Rick Marken (2016.05.07.0845)]
There were some typos in the version of the slides for my book talk that I posted earlier so I have put up a corrected version, in pdf format, at <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.mindreadings.com_ControllingPeopleTalk.pdf&d=CwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=-dJBNItYEMOLt6aj_KjGi2LMO_Q8QB-ZzxIZIF8DGyQ&m=556VFIbOjKLTQ5zD5arzoP7_gTGYfMf_3_yqvQjPyJw&s=47vpft7_VzYfLq_wnDvWIjby5pipT2vJUauG-imNH-M&e=>www.mindreadings.com/ControllingPeopleTalk.pdf.
For those of you who are interested in how the talk went: As I said, I think it went well. It was a small group, possibly due to the fact that the talk was scheduled at a rather inconvenient time, 6:00 pm, which is dinner time for many people. But the people there seemed to find the talk interesting and there was a rather enthusiastic Q&A session after the talk. The talk itself took about an hour and the Q & A session about 1/2 hour afterwords.
The main goal was to generate some interest in the book, of course. I'm not sure there were enough people there to get the buzz going. But it was fun to try to develop this talk about the book. I hope to be able to do it again sometime, hopefully to a larger audience, so any suggestions about how to improve the talk would be most welcome.
Best regards
Rick
