Because I’m a first time author I look at my Kindle sales stats about six times a day. In researching my book sales trends I noticed Chris Brogan’s book “It’s Not About The Tights” kept coming up as the most related title to mine. I have a lot of respect for Chris’ work so I picked it up for my Kindle ($4.95).

Here’s one quote that should convince you to buy the book:

“Confidence comes from our actions. If we are doing more fitness work, we will feel more confident that we can take on a marathon. If we’re doing more sitting-around work, there goes that confidence. But now that we know that, we have a key.”

1. Chris writes what he knows. He’s not guessing in this book. He talks in a practical and vulnerable way about his experience with fear and identity.

2. You will do more if you do what he says. Chris’ book is about learning from his experiences of experiencing fear and coming out brave on the other side. It is “An Owners Manual For Bravery” after all.

For $4.95 (and free for Amazon Prime members at the time of this post) it’s a book you should make time to read. Leave some time to stop and apply what you’re learning though. This isn’t a feel good book. It’s a book that will help you start taking action so you feel good because of your work. Who doesn’t need that? I do.
