Given that the discussion is rather limited to two or three points of view at the moment, I thought I'd check to see who's planning on participating. Please choose one.

Also, it's still the first half of January, and the book discussion goes from January to March. There's a lot of time left for people to read and discuss the book.

I'm hoping that more people join the discussion, and that they aren't scared off by the first few participants.

I'll be reading and participating, but haven't yet started the book. Too much is going on in my work world for reading or posting, but that will change soon I hope.

From what I'm seeing I am in disagreement with the author on many points and I'll have a great deal to say once I jump into the discussion.

Oh, and something I should mention...

Please click on some of the new Google links found throughout the site. You'll see them on the Home page, Contact page, and many others. We are paid a small referral fee for each click and I'm surprised how quickly the money is adding up. Those ads are targeted to stuff you all should find interesting too. So please check them out. I know every day how many times people clicked on them and I seriously appreciate the help. :)

Nope, infrared sauna.

Works with a dry penetrating heat as opposed to the usual steam version. Plus - it's way better for your health.

I just like it because it technically is a form of exercise where I can read and enjoy a cup of tea.

We'll be having our live chat with the author on March 23rd, 2006 at 9:00 pm eastern, so please secure a copy of the book for yourself. There is plenty of time to read and discuss the book prior to this live chat. :)

It's been almost a month and a half since the chapter threads have gotten any activity. It kind of amazes me that so few people are contributing to this discussion -- this book did win a majority of votes, didn't it? Is anyone still planning to participate? It's getting down to crunch time.
