Bad Paid-For Photos
Ellen just finished reading "The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles," by novelist Steven Pressfield. The book aims to help readers channel creative energy, unlock potential and overcome the fears that stop us from reaching our fullest potential. With courage, following the right formula and working hard, the book proposes that passion can be turned into purpose.
Next Story: These Bad Paid-For Photos Are Unbelievable!
There are few books on this planet I would recommend as highly as The War of Art. I've now read it three times and I'm sure I'll read it a dozen more in my life. It does an unbelievable job of helping you overcome the forces that would keep you from becoming successful no matter which field or industry you may be in. Although I've read all of Steven Pressfield's books (as his fictional writing is fantastic), this is the book that has been most applicable to my life and I definitely recommend it to everyone - whether they think they are "creative" or not.
Ellen, I think this Book "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield sounds like a winner! I grew up in Manhattan long ago (I do want to move back if I hit a Lottery), in an Artist/Phtography/Jazz/Rock Household and unfortunately I just lost my Museum Job here on Florida's Space Coast last Wednesday. I believe I am going to buy this Book and dive right into it. I love Art Books, Biography's, Auto Biography's, and know I will love this one...Thanks Man!
Love Ya Always....Depressed on losing my Musum Job, but I am an Optimist and just know something will happen good in my Life. I am alone in Life...with my 3 Cats! Laughter makes me stronger!

I was dtinppoiased in this book because it made me believe that it would be about Yahoo! and Google equally with eBay. However, this book was all about eBay with a tiny sprinkling of Yahoo! and Google here and there — certainly not enough to include Yahoo! and Google in the title of the book. The book has 29 chapters. It doesn’t stop talking about eBay until Chapter 21 then resumes its eBay discussion in Chapter 29.The book should have been called “eBay 101″ or “eBay for Not-So-Dumb Dummies.” It does have good information for a complete eBay newbie but I would recommend other books for the non-eBay savvy newcomer like Adam Ginsberg’s book: How to Buy, Sell, and Profit on eBay or eBay Powerseller Secrets by Debra and Brad Schepp. In fact, those two books I just mentioned alone should be all you need to get started if you want to make money on eBay.Pass on this book. It’s a rip off. The title is not appropriate and designed to deceive people into believing that the book will give you a strong online selling strategy with a successful mix of eBay, Yahoo!, and Google when that isn’t the case. It’s all about eBay with a few words dropped in here and there about Yahoo! and Google.Rating: 2 / 5
