The Book Of Awesome

If this book is as short and as good as this video, I am going to love it.

You can back the project on Kickstarter and get the book and other rewards. I just did.

          1. awaldstein

            I agree FG, you do rock!I’ll support the book, although I’d love to buy you some extra words.

          2. JamesHRH

            Acceptance is the key to peace of mind Arnold.

          3. awaldstein

            A good strategy, not one I excel at.

          4. JamesHRH

          5. ShanaC

    3. panterosa,

      Arnold, isn’t shorter sweeter? Less is more? I yearn for concise speech.

      1. awaldstein

        True but concise speech and a smaller vocabulary don’t always go hand in hand of course.

        1. Donna Brewington White

          Well said.
