Our very own Monique Sternin will be one of 14 speakers at the upcoming TEDxHanoi: Now What conference. In her talk, she will be discussing the original story of PD in Vietnam from the 1990s and the power of PD for the future of Vietnam.

This book was inspired by Positive Deviance and Entertainment-Education, innovative approaches to making changes at social and individual levels. It also explains how both connect each other by referring to Diffusion of Innovation. The content is what the author has learned from Dr. Arvind Singhal by following him as an apprentice and from practiced strategies in the real world.

Singhal is in the final stages of this colorful, highly-illustrated book being compiled with a professional designer. Using pictures, pithy stories, visuals, and boxed illustrations, the book will feature a variety of Classic PD applications. It will be out within the first quarter of 2019, and a second PD Case Book looking at newer, more recent applications will follow.
