OK, this is shameless promotion, but I’m doing a year-end/holiday push. A few months ago, I published my first ebook on Amazon. It has nothing to do with insurance. It consists of 52 of my favorite quotations, each accompanied by a very short essay on the subject. The idea is that each week of the next year can begin with an inspirational or thought-provoking quotation and some hopefully wise observations about it.

For a video preview of the book, including several quotational excerpts, CLICK HERE.

Here is a list of the topics for each week’s quotation and essay:

Week 1: Coping with adversity
Week 2: Self-pity
Week 3: The ‘good old days’ illusion
Week 4: Time indigestion
Week 5: Carpe diem
