Do you find yourself clenching in anger when someone tells you to "think positive?" Do you bite your tongue when your too-perky boss gives you a motivational book for the holidays? You need The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking. Hear how Oliver Burkeman found a very unlikely but very sane and realistic path to happiness, sans sap.

Dr. Richard Settersten pulls in to PurpleCar Park to discuss his new book (along with writer Barbara Ray): Not Quite Adults: Why 20-Somethings Are Choosing A Slower Path to Adulthood, and Why It’s Good for Everyone.

Dr. Settersten holds a Ph.D. in Human Development and Social Policy from Northwestern University. He is currently on the Faculty of Oregon State University, where he holds the chair of the Hallie Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families.

Also pulling in to PurpleCar Park we have a young entrepreneur, David Spinks. Mr. Spinks is a founder Blogdash.com, a service that focuses on blogger outreach. Along with other projects like Scribnia.com and his own personal blog whatspinksthinks.com, David is a founder and host of the Under 30 Professionals group. The #u30pro chat on Twitter on Thursday nights is a vibrant conversation for Millennials by Millennials on topics that effect their lives.

Stop what you’re doing, pull the car over and listen in to Rick and David talk about young people, jobs, finances, cohabitation, class struggles, living at home, marriage and family, college, graduate school and more.

Introduction (by The Matthew Show)

It’s time to put on the brakes and pull into PurpleCar Park, your stop for book reviews, author interviews, and thoughts about the act of reading in our super-digital, data-driven world. Hosted by Miss PurpleCar herself, Christine Cavalier.

CHRISTINE CAVALIER:

Welcome Everybody.

Mr. Steve Garfield stops in to PurpleCar Park to discuss his book, Get Seen: Online Video Secrets to Building Your Business. Steve is an “internet old-timer” who started doing video in way back in 2004, when there wasn’t user-generated video content on the web. We talk about how Steve got started with online video, some video projects he’s done for businesses, “citizen reporting”, what’s happening with Qik and Skype, and what he sees coming in the future.

Stop what you’re doing, pull the car over and listen in to my friend Steve talk about his step-by-step guide to unlocking the secrets of successful online videos.

Introduction (by The Matthew Show)

It’s time to put on the brakes and pull into PurpleCar Park, your stop for book reviews, author interviews, and thoughts about the act of reading in our super-digital, data-driven world. Hosted by Miss PurpleCar herself, Christine Cavalier.

CHRISTINE CAVALIER:

Well, people the Internet has changed the world, and the Internet is changing. Posting live and recorded video is easier than ever. So, today on PurpleCar Park we’re talking with video expert Steve Garfield, author of Get Seen: Online Video Secrets to Building Your Business, published by Wiley. Based in Boston, Steve started his first regular video blog in 2004, and now lectures on new media at Boston University. He speaks and consults around the country. In Get Seen, Steve tells organizations how video can push their business into the world of new media. Welcome, Steve!

STEVE GARFIELD:

Well It’s so good to be here and talk to you again.

CHRISTINE CAVALIER:

Yes. It is nice to talk to you. And let me first offer up some transparency to our listeners and say that you and I know each other.

STEVE GARFIELD:

We do.

CHRISTINE CAVALIER:

We do, we met at Podcamp Philly in 2007.

STEVE GARFIELD:

Yup. Which will always be, in my mind, one of the best podcamps ever,

Christine Cavalier of PurpleCar.net interviews Dr. Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality. Find out how CEO's deflate workers, how online dating is inherently flawed, and how storytelling helps convey your message. We talk about Dr. Ariely's latest book, released in June 2010, The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic at Work and at Home.

NYT best-selling author Daniel H. Pink stops in to talk about his new book, DRiVE. We talk about why companies are stuck in the 1950s when it comes to reward and motivation theories. Find out what a “For Benefit” company is, why Wikipedia and open source are so huge, and what you can do to motivate yourself and your employees in the best way possible.

Interview: Author of DRiVE: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Daniel H. Pink

PurpleCar Park:

Woah there, Speedy! Slow down and pull over to PurpleCar Park, a podcast where you can settle in to author interviews, book reviews, and discussion about the act of reading and writing in our super-fast, hyper-digital world.

Unlike most book reviewers and author interviewers in traditional media and on the internet, I take the time to read and study the book. Listen in and you’ll notice the difference. Welcome to PurpleCar Park!

Today I interviewed Dr. Dalton Conley, Professor of Sociology and Chair of the Sociology Department at NYU.  Dr. Conley is author of several books, most notably his memoir and social commentary, Honky. Dr. Conley and I sit down to talk about his new book, Elsewhere, U.S.A.: How We Got from the Company Man, Family Dinners, and the Affluent Society to the Home Office, BlackBerry Moms, and Economic Anxiety [Pantheon Books, New York 2008]. Please see my review of the book here.
