E-books vs Real Books: What’s the verdict?

Real Books vs E-Books
credit: ginnerobot

Like many other bloggers I’m a big fan of reading books. I’m also fairly involved in the online world, so I do a lot of online reading.

While I subscribe to the theory that there’s nothing quite like the feel / smell / taste of a “real” book, I’ve also had times where I’ve invested in a course etc, and the material has come in e-book format.

Sometimes these E-books have been really great, quality reads. Othertimes… well, let’s just say the concept of ‘book’ is being tainted. Some of these should honestly be renamed E-just-wasted-my-money-and-time. Or perhaps something like E-hee-hee-another-sucker! is more appropriate. (more…)

Life is a Dream

Thirty Days to Change Your Life is a new e-book by Michael Miles of Effortless Abundance. Michael is an author who is passionate about concepts like meaning, purpose and the wonderful adventure of life. His studies and life experiences have developed quite an interesting writing style, and I’m really pleased to be able to review this new e-book. My sincere thanks to Michael for the review copy.

First Glance
The first thing I noticed about this e-book, aside from the fact it’s around 115 pages long, is that it includes a rather comprehensive 6 page introduction on what it’s all about, and how to use the book.

So what it this book all about? Thirty Days to Change Your Life is exactly as it sounds – thirty short chapters of ideas, challenges and messages of inspiration that by themselves cause you to think about your own life and what you’re trying to achieve. Collectively however, they take on a much greater effect. (more…)


Richard Branson: Secrets of a global icon

 

I’ve always liked Richard Branson, for a variety of reasons. Part of this is because he has been remarkably successful in most of his ventures, and is an entrepreneur at heart. I also like his philosophies and business models, the way he places great value on people and building networks of like-minded individuals. He is an adventurer, a traveler, someone who appreciates life and lives it to the fullest.

I think most of all however I appreciate his personality and character. Obviously I don’t know him personally, but by watching him in his Rebel Billionaire series and reading several of his books, I get the gist of what kind of guy he is. The Virgin brand appeals to me, too – it’s quirky and fun, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
