Any questions? No? Well, NPR has some observations, anyway.

Yep: Labor Day has Canadian origins. That’s just one of 11 facts you may or may not already know about Labor Day that you’ll find over here.

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.”

Maybe it’s just me, but when I went to Huffington Post this morning to view a clip of Michael Douglas discussing his throat cancer on David Letterman’s program, including the fact that his treatment regimen will probably make it impossible for him to swallow solid food, an Outback Steakhouse commercial just didn’t feel all that appropriate.

Max Lenderman is a smart guy who knows plenty about marketing communications in general and experiential marketing in particular.

Max has a new book out. It’s called Brand New World. It’s probably excellent, given his previous book, Experience the Message. That, and the fact that there’s an elephant on the cover.

Over at experiencethemessage.com you can download a .pdf of Brand New World. The entire book. For free. Without registration. Of any kind. Right-click, save and the whole thing is yours.

Bravo, Max. I bet you wind up selling a whole lot more books for it all.

(Hat tip to Barbara for the heads up on this one.)
