David Rock just sent the link to the debrief of the first NeuroLeadership Summit in Asolo, Italy. At the link, you may find a nice overview of the talks and even some photos. Enjoy.

On the Positive Psychology listserv, a number of people already have commented favorably on the Stapp talk at Asolo. You may read his Summit talk as well as many other articles written by him at Dr. Henry Stapp's page for his recent papers and communications. He gives you two versions of his Asolo talk.
Note (added August 2, 2007, 8:00 AM Mountain): For more about NeuroLeadership read Management and neuroscience: Some words of caution.
