keep up the good work man…….

Keep up the g00d work man!…

For example I read Dr Conwell’s book ‘Acres of Diamonds’. Using stories and personal anecdotes he talks about market research, about overlooking business opportunities right under our nose and many other things.

Another book that resonates strongly even in this age is ‘The Power of Concentration’.

I give away all these and more including ‘Think and Grow Rich’ at my website:

I am an avid reader – like a chain-smoker, no sooner do I finish one book than I pick up another, and I get withdrawal symptoms if there’s nothing around to read. While I agree with posters who describe, Dickens, Austen, Brontes etc as part of the ‘classics’ there is good writing that spans a far wider time frame than this, including modern writers.

For some years I avoided most newly published literature, preferring to re-read older favorites, but more recently I’ve got more into modern authors, particularly because I’ve moved to Greece and couldn’t bring many of my own books with me, so I’m relying on the ‘libraries’ of friends.

It was a good step, my horizons had started to become narrow and I was missing out on a lot of good reading.

I’m pleased someone mentioned Project Gutenberg, an excellent free source of older books, including many that wouldn’t be regarded as classics, but may be a good read nevertheless. It’s well worth a look for the non-fiction titles it holds. I’d guess it could be a treasure trove for many authors.
