Finding Grace When You Can’t Even Find Clean Underwear, by Lisa Earle McLeod

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | October 19th, 2007

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Disenfranchised corporate flunkies, frazzled entrepreneurs, exhausted parents, squabbling spouses and anyone who needs a touch of grace to deal with the angst of daily life.

Q: What is the book about?
A: From TV and religion to sex and fast food, no topic is off-limits as syndicated humor columnist applies her edgy humor to the everyday issues that drive us all nuts. McLeod turns traditional thinking on its head by asking:

  • What is the meaning of life, and why are other people so *#$%@! annoying?
  • Can Sponge Bob get you into Mensa?
  • Does Buddha need Botox?
  • Why Isn’t marriage as exciting as dating?

Always funny, often touching, and sometimes politically incorrect, Finding Grace is a wickedly funny take on the people and problems that vex us all.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I’m the only person who can write about fake boobs, reality TV and annoying in-laws and turn it into a spiritual experience. I shine a light on the nutty behavior of humans and show readers how to find grace in the less than perfect moment they’re in.
I’m an expert in corporate disillusionment, mommy guilt, marital misery, slacker parenting, faux housework, flat-line libidos and drive-thru spirituality.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: It’s a bust a gut funny, and instead of telling you how to fix your life, I show how to actually enjoy it, warts and all.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Erma Bombeck’s daughter Betsy said, “Lisa McLeod is channelling my mother.”

Green Yellow Go! Nat Knows Bananas, by Christine Hierlmaier Nelson

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | October 18th, 2007

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Pre-K Children, Parents and Child Care Professionals

Q: What is the book about?
A: A colorful children’s picture book about a little girl who must wait for her bananas to turn from green to yellow. The story shows children that rewards can come from patience and it has become a launch point for my workshops and presentations to parents and child care providers on the important academic and developmental benefits to learning patience at a young age. I was recently featured in Parents magazine for my insights on this topic.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I am a communications consultant and journalist with more than 13 years of experience. I have two daughters under age 7. I write and speak about patience in a society geared toward having everything NOW.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: This book is a simple way of explaining patience to young children. As for parents, there are many books that tell them to be patient but my work shows them how to actually achieve it.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: It is intended as a series, but at this moment I am working on a book for patient parenting and child care that I expect to be published in 2008. My website is filled with parenting resources at www.natknows.com.

Goal-Free Living: How to Have the Life You Want NOW! by Stephen M. Shapiro

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | October 16th, 2007

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Anyone who wants to perform at higher levels, with less effort and less stress.

Q: What is the book about?
A: Our society has been brainwashed into thinking that goals are the key to success. The reality is, they stifle imagination, squelch passion, and hinder true prosperity. Goal-Free Living will enable you to realize your full extraordinary human potential and begin living a more successful personal and professional life.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: This book is based on interviews with over 150 individuals and 20 years of management consulting experience.


Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?

A: A recent Guardian newspaper book review contrasted Goal-Free Living with Brian Tracy’s GOALS! The article said, “”Life, Brian Tracy is fond of saying, is like a buffet, not a table-service restaurant: you have to buckle down and work hard now, so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labor in the future. But this is surely exactly wrong – a recipe for storing up all your happiness for a brief few minutes on your deathbed, when you can look back smugly at your achievements. Contrast that with the insight of Stephen Shapiro, whose book Goal-Free Living makes the case that you can have some kind of direction to your life without obsessing about the specific destination. ‘Opportunity knocks often, but sometimes softly,’ he says. ‘While blindly pursuing our goals, we often miss unexpected and wonderful possibilities.’ That sounds a lot more smart to me.”

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?

A: It was the cover story in O, The Oprah Magazine. 2 pages dedicated to Goal-Free Living.
