R.K.: Now, Bottom Up Radio is based on the idea that we're in a transition from a Top Down to a Bottom Up world that is affecting us in all aspects of our lives: our culture, our politics, even the way people's brains work. So when I saw this new book of yours I was very excited about it and one of my goals is to have you frame some of your ideas in a Bottom Up -- Top Down approach if that's possible.
Another goal is to discuss your Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which is what drew me to your book, Apps Generation. So I'd like you to start out talking a little bit about Multiple Intelligences, and what the concept is, what new ideas you've had about it, and then we'll jump in to the Apps Generation and spend most of our time talking about that. Can you begin with that?
