The fifth book in the acclaimed Zentrepreneur Guides® series, this interactive idea log, from the authors and successful brand-builders who never travel without pen and paper at hand to jot down their own ideas, is a powerful tool for all those pursuing their dreams to help focus their attention on objectives, set priorities and track performance.

Laced throughout with questions, quotes, spaces for journal entries and captivating Zen drawings, the idea log gives ideas the space to be nourished and to grow, helping Zentrepreneurs -- 21st century entrepreneurs who are looking for contentment in life as well as success in business -- take action on all the wonderful, inspiring lessons presented in the previous books in the series, Success at Life, Dragon Spirit, and Tiger Heart, Tiger Mind. Wowisms, another companion to the series, collects the authors' best-loved sayings and bits of wisdom.

Rubin and Gold dedicate pages to worklists with special prompts:

• Now is the time for action. Dream . . . think . . . act! Everything else is mythology
• List your resources, support systems, skills to bring your idea to life
• Embrace your imaginative power, be a thinker-upper/writer-downer

The idea log's other pages are open for the freeform creative expression of ideas, and the refining, sorting through, augmenting, and planning that inevitably go with them.

More than just a notebook, the book's pages feature peaceful, inspiring Zen brushstroke paintings, complemented by the empowering phrases for which the authors have become known. "An idea is a calling that screams to those that quiet themselves long enough to listen," the authors urge on one page. They note on another, "The ancestor to every success is an idea." Sidebar passages blend ancient wisdom and proverbs with the realities of everyday life to impassion readers to go after their dreams.

Having already laid the groundwork in the previous books in the series, Gold sums up the need for this new addition in his introduction, writing, "What you must realize is that the simple act of writing down an idea is more than putting pen to paper, it is a very assertive way of endowing yourself with ascendancy, helping you to become a more powerful creative thinker, providing you with the infusion of certain confidence and emotional energy."
