Brain Glue: How Selling Becomes Much Easier By Making Your Ideas "Sticky"

Make it stick with Bond - a masterclass in selling strategies...

People often say that life is a sales pitch. We don't intentionally take this view, but it's the truth. The process of persuading a person to agree to a proposal or recommendation is called selling. It's something we routinely do. Acceptance from others, love from others, and attaining what we want in life all require us to "sell ourselves." Most of everything that we do is sales-related, so it stands to reason that we should know something about it!

Brain Glue: How Selling Becomes Much Easier By Making Your Ideas "Sticky" by James I. Bond teaches the reader how to properly promote a product so that it remains in people's minds. It reveals how to showcase your product in ways that will capture people's attention and provides you with the tools you need to promote your goods in a way that appeals to the emotions of potential purchasers. Life is a serious business, and in order to succeed, we must learn the tricks of the trade. This book shows you how.

If you're looking for something positive, uplifting, and empowering for yourself, this book is excellent. The insights you learn from this book are uniquely yours and have the ability to significantly affect your outlook and actions. It's a must-read for both new and experienced entrepreneurs. Highly recommended, and a well-deserved five stars from me.

The Light of Reason - A Scientist’s Inspiring Journey of Recovery and Finding the Value of Life by Tamar Jehuda Cohen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A beautifully moving, life-affirming true story...

Human existence is a never-ending series of countless events and occurrences, some of which are positive while others are negative. These occurrences are a part of both the individual and the communal experiences that make up life. In life, every one of us will inevitably come up against obstacles. All of these experiences, no matter how great or how small, will contribute in some way to the person we become. Conquering these obstacles is what ultimately leads to our growth in strength and wisdom, and it also gives us the opportunity to motivate and support others along the path. "The Light of Reason," by Dr. Tamar Jehuda Cohen, is an incredibly compelling and life-affirming real narrative that acts as a tremendous source of motivation for all who read it. I give this book a resounding five stars and give it my highest possible recommendation. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

The Light Through the Storm: A Heroic WW2 Historical Novel Based on a True Story

The Light Through the Storm: A Heroic WW2 Historical Novel Based on a True Story by Margalit Ganor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An inspiring account of perseverance and survival...

“The Light Through the Storm” by Margalit Ganor Ph.D. is a WW2 historical novel based on the author's own family history. It’s an all-encompassing human dramatization that tells the story of Dr. Leon Schmelzer, his wife Donya, and their young daughter as they try to leave Romania discretely in the dead of night after realizing the peril of remaining in the country while it is still occupied by Nazi Germany. They scurry on board a tiny ship, along with a few other people, leaving behind family, friends, and the only life they had ever known in the hope of having a chance to survive. However, their journey to liberation does not follow a direct course. What follows is man’s own faith and resolve being pushed to its limits when they are shipwrecked and held hostage in a distant place…

The intensity of this book is in the potency of its characters and the author's microscopic viewpoint of the human condition. “The Light Through the Storm” is both inspiring and heart-wrenching, as it highlights both the best and worst of humanity. Highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

101 Ways to Enjoy Retirement: Discover Unique Hobbies from Around the World to Start Today

101 Ways to Enjoy Retirement: Discover Unique Hobbies from Around the World to Start Today by Ravina M Chandra
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent ideas for making a successful retirement transition…

The extended vacation is frequently the retirement fantasy. Furthermore, the media hasn't helped by consistently portraying older couples enjoying Mai Tais on the beach. Because they lack any other life experiences to compare it to, most people will explain that the first few months of retirement feel like a vacation. Retirement, however, is not a vacation. It's a completely new way of living. How you grapple with the first couple of years of retirement will largely determine how you spend the rest of your life. 101 Ways to Enjoy Retirement by Ravina M Chandra offers some excellent ideas for making a successful retirement transition. Very highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me.

The Fight of My Life: My Battle With The Paranormal

The Fight of My Life: My Battle With The Paranormal by Austin Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A disturbingly funny read...

Paranormal books can sometimes be a lot of fun to read. These books are even eerier because of their ‘factual’ basis. Instead of just making up a story about a terrifying ghost or demon, these stories are supposedly based on true stories. Even if the ghostly apparitions are not actually real, the people who experience these strange happenings believed that they are.

If you are ready to be scared out of your mind or tickled out of your fancy, check out The Fight of My Life: My Battle With The Paranormal by Austin Lee and Kimberly Parsons. I highly recommend that you read it with a friend. If you are quite brave, you can try to read it on a dark, moonless night. Either way, don’t come crying to me if this isn’t your genre! Recommended.
