    Mind Performance Hacks in Boing Boing

    MPH cover

    As I write this, my book Mind Performance Hacks is ranked 104 at Amazon. That means it's very nearly in the top 100 books Amazon is selling right now. Its ranking for all of today will be a lot lower; the book started out the day around 5000. However, thanks to a positive review by David Pescovitz at Boing Boing, ("...Mind Performance Hacks is a thinking person's self-help book. Highly recommended"), it did wonderfully well this afternoon.

    If you're not familiar with Boing Boing, it's probably the most widely read blog in the world. Are you trying to tell me you read my blog but not Boing Boing? Pull the other one; it's got bells on. Now pull my finger.

    The review's just in time for the holiday season, too. Remember, much like Fudgie the Whale, Mind Performance Hacks makes a great gift.
