Greetings: I am promoting Scott Berkun as I am a huge fan of his. The book is really wonderful.
This is a special email for two reasons. First, I’d like to welcome
the 5000+ new subscribers who joined recently as part of the Mindfire
promotion.
Welcome. I hope you like what you find and that you’ll stick around.
These emails are always short and to the point. It’s an easy way
to follow what I’m up to.
Second, it’s only so often I can say this phrase: The new book is out.
The best of an entire decade of my work is now available in one
tightly edited, entertainingly curated and provocatively organized
volume called Mindfire: Big Ideas for Curious Minds. Please give it a
spin and let me know what you think.
1. Mindfire for free: 8 hours left
If you follow me on twitter you know I did something crazy. Mindfire
is currently available for free in all digital formats. All you have
to do is go over here:
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2011/mindfire-download-free-for-48-hours/
Since you’re already on the list, just put in the same email address
you use for this list, so you don’t end up being subscribed twice.
If paper is your thing, amazon.com can ship the book to your door
today. Go here: http://amzn.to/mindfires
2. The best of October and beyond
Last month was quiet. Finishing the book absorbed most of my
writing time. But there were a few gems:
How to give a perfect demo

Is Philosophy the most practical major?
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2011/is-philosophy-the-most-practical-major/
Will the E-book kill the footnote?
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2011/will-the-e-book-kill-the-footnote/
The fallacy of quick answers

Why it’s ok to be obvious

3. Join the street team / Fan club
Since Mindfire is self-published, I need help to promote
the book. If you’re a fan, or a friend, or a marketing goddess
who is just plain bored, and would be willing to post a thing
or two to facebook or twitter, or help generate PR in your
network, please join.
http://groups.google.com/group/berkunfan?hl=en
There were be special prizes and thank yous for folks who help out,
including free copies of the book.
4. Please spread the word
If you enjoy something above, leave a comment, share on facebook or
forward to your friends. If you hate something I wrote, forward to your enemies.
