An unexpected seeker's memoir . I think it is very. Fortuitous that I hadn't read Sam Harris' Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion. Prior to a book I reviewed a week or so back, as had Harris' book been fresh in mind , the other would have suffered more in the reviewing. Just as I was hoping in my review of that other. Book that there might be someone who will take the useful concepts of this and run with them. However, upon further reflection, I believe that I found out about this. But, t...

Fantastic little book!: btripp_books

Sam Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation. Little book. As readers who have followed my reviews and journal on-going through the years know, I'm in a rather uncomfortable minority of folks who are both strongly conservative and. Sam Harris is (I suspect not much as he gets into red-state/blue-state stuff in here, which is largely a liberal talking point), he is totally. On-target with my views of Christianity. Just as I have urged my readers to get books like Mona Charen's Useful Idiots. Frankly, I probab...

Revisioning marketing for the digital era . I actually won a copy of Gini Dietrich and Geoff Livingston's Marketing in the Round: How to Develop an Integrated Marketing Campaign in the Digital Era. Following sitting in on a webinar that Gini was doing (they drew names of attendees). I actually know Gini from the local marketing scene, as she's head of the Arment Dietrich agency, and also has the Spin Sucks site. Featuring her Gin and Topics. Imagine your organizational structure as a wheel instead of a t...

Another book that EVERYBODY should read . Due to time issues with my new job, I've gotten behind on my review-writing, and that's meant this current book has "cooled" a bit while waiting a week for me to get around to dealing with it. Frankly, when I was half-way through reading this, I was thinking that Sam Harris' The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason. Was the best book ever. And I was trying to track down bulk orders for it so that I could give copies to everybody I know! Where ...

An encouraging look towards the future . Well you've had to wait a while to read this review. I was halfway into writing it five weeks ago when my much-beloved netbook up and died in the middle of a sentence. It's taken this long for me to a) get hooked up with a replacement and b) get back out to do some reviews and, of course, the material (which was fresh in my mind back then) has faded slightly in my recall. On sensationalizing bad news, as Abundance. Is very much the antithesis of that. This initial...

That's the way you do it . I've met Ann Handley of MarketingProfs. A couple of times, and her new book was getting a lot of play over in the marketing discussions of Facebook, so I dropped a line to the good folks at Wiley to request a copy of Everybody Writes: Your Go-To Guide to Creating Ridiculously Good Content. Beware of advice even this. Early on, Handley presents a 12-point Writing GPS a GPS because in writing you need. A road map to get you to where you need to be. Reframe: put your reader into it.

The Boy With The Incredible Brain - Critiqued - The Adventures of a Confounded Spinning Ball. The Adventures of a Confounded Spinning Ball. The Boy With The Incredible Brain - Critiqued. Jan 25th, 2008 11:27 pm. The Adventures of a Confounded Spinning Ball. Lately I've been encouraged to make more of my posts unlocked. I only do that under certain circumstances, but I feel this is an important occasion because I believe I have spotted a hoax and that I am unusually qualified to unmask it. Before I go any...

I had really high hopes for this when I won it from the LibraryThing.com Early Reviewer program, as I was anticipating some nice logical presentation about a rational society's God substitute coming out of Science. Eh, not so much. Not that it doesn't have its moments, but Nancy Ellen Abrams' A God That Could Be Real: Spirituality, Science, and the Future of Our Planet. Who's the scientist . she has a philosophy degree from University of Chicago, and is a lawyer. Of the idea of God, from the earliest fla...
