A spirited exploration of the culture of extreme motivation in America, from team- and vision- building in the corporate world ... to the multi- million dollar industry of self-improvement books and videos. Along the way, we'll meet Seattle's famous corporate-training fishmongers; hear from someone trying to figure out Who Moved Her Cheese; and be introduced to despair.com's lucrative mockery of the whole motivation business.
"Low Flying Fish!" was produced by Gemma Hooley. The show was mixed by Jared Weissbrot. Thanks to BizFutures and Merrill Lynch. Extracts from the Focus series of the Franklin Covey company; from David Whyte's book "The Heart Aroused" on Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing; and from "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson, published by Penguin Putnam Inc. Special thanks to Sniff, Scurry, Hem, Haw ... and frozen salmon everywhere.
