It’s Self-help Time

It’s time for another self-help review project. Here’s how it works: I post a list of the self-help and relationship books that have been mailed to me over the past six months or so. If you want one, e-mail me (meregoldstein at gmail dot com). Put “BOOK!” in the subject line. Tell me which book you want and I’ll do my best to get it to you. I have one copy of each book, so move fast. If you get one of the books, you have homework. By early February I expect you to e-mail me a sentence or two about the most important thing you learned from the book. You can be critical. You can praise the book. You can be snarky. I just want to hear about the book and how it might help our community. After I collect the reviews, I’ll post them. And if you don’t hear from me in a day or two, assume your book was snagged by someone else.
