Make Yourself Clear: Support Our Launch

To quote our most recent newsletter:

Like a movie’s opening weekend box office, a book’s launch window is critical to its success.  If we can circulate enough books into the intellectual bloodstream, our ideas have a chance of spreading and making a difference.

Here are some ways you can help:
 

1. Buy the book.
2. Read the book and leave a review on Amazon (or GoodReads, Barnes & Noble, etc.).
3. Buy a second copy of the book for someone with whom you work. 
4. Buy a third copy to donate to a local library or high school / college library.
5. Email 5 people and recommend that they buy (and read) the book.
6. Form a reading group around the book. Invite us to attend either in person or via Zoom or Skype.
7. Take a picture of yourself reading the book and share it with your Facebook friends and family.
8. Take a picture of yourself reading the book and share it with your Twitter and/or Instagram audiences.
9. Find something you like in the book and quote it on a Twitter or Instagram post.
10. Review the book on your own blog.
11. Send the book’s title, or a short review of the book, to a newsletter that you like.
12. Write a review of the book for a magazine to which you are able to contribute.
13. If you come across a Tweet, Instragram Post, or any other social media related to the book, like and retweet/share it.
14. Same as above, add a reply or comment to the conversation 
15. Interview us on your podcast.
16. Interview us for your newsletter or blog.
17. Interview us for another publication.  
18. Introduce us to people you know who could book us as a speaker or who would benefit from a team/organization-wide read of the book.

Thanks for considering some of the above. Ideally, you will choose something that will benefit you or the people around you. The point here is to add some value and hopefully some delight to the world.  As a gift for reading this message, here’s a snapshot of one of the key parts of the book: a thinking tool that ties together authenticity, immediacy, and delight.
