I would be a pretty lame author if I have not read a lot, so I try to read real books regularly. Here are a few that I have checked out lately is worth a look. A travel book, a journey e-book and that is a kick in the pants of all media.
First up, I have read before I ever went to Mexico City, or moved to Mexico for a year, but in the end this last month after meeting David Suffer twice. First stop in the new world is the type of book that only bilingual, long resident in the city was able to write. It is insightful, search, and full of talk about details, the author went after just like a real journalist. (For a while he was editor of a major newspaper in the city.) To learn more about the world's second largest city than you knew that you wanted to know and to do it in a fun and entertaining way. I am certainly not the first who rave about this book, just check out the media review on Amazon. It is a keeper.
He has received a great blog on d.f. too. See DavidLida.com
This next one will be hard to read in bed if you find a way to get it to an iPad,. It is a landscape layout e-book with lots of photos, so even if you're geeky enough to convert it to ePub that doesn't work on the Kindle. So curl with your laptop and check Surviving the Indian Railway.
It was written by Drew Gilbert, otherwise known as husband of almost fearless blogChristine Gilbert. This is not a comprehensive how-to book on travels throughout India by train really rather a travelogue about his 16-day whirlwind had Inda rail.
However, there are some good planning information including how to deal with the inherent frustration in trying to be a flashpacker in a developing country. (Shortcut, you are a slave to the limited electrical outlets.) Plus there are plenty of basic information, purchasing an Indrail pass, figuring meals (you won't go hungry) and to manage the dreaded have squat toilets on a train in motion.
Read this game romp brought back lots of memories, some nice and some intentionally buried but it shows you are travelling by train in India remains one of the world's most interesting adventure – and a screaming bargain. This is one of the hottest new e-books I remember reading, with interesting pictures on almost all sides. This means of course that there is really much text at the end. You can read the whole thing for an hour or two. But the price is right: $ 10. Click here to view more details
This last that have little to do with travel unless you have experienced problems actually do them travel plans a reality. Simple title is do the work and this is what the captain you do. If the author was just a motivational guru this pithy little book would not have much merit, but he is a successful writer writer, and the author of The War of Art.
You can probably guess from all plates I have spinning in the air and the books I've published, to get things done and out the door has never been one of my biggest problems, but I still fight from time to time. I have also been involved in some group projects lately that some of my teammates definitely should have read this book, then read again for good measure. Ideas are fine, but if you do not prevail over the resistance — from friends, relatives, from the partner and the little voice inside your head — you will never meet milestones and make those ideas into something that matters. You will not ship your product, you won't make the investment, you don't start the marketing that will make a big splash.
Or you take not the great journey around the world that you plan. There are a million reasons not to go travel and no shortage of people who can easily provide those reasons if you want to listen to them or not. Learn to look past the opposition and give life great things is the real key to success – and perhaps even happiness. Working good medicine on how to get there.
(In an odd pricing quirk, hardcover in this book is actually cheaper than Kindle version — and easier to read because of all the font changes. Get that one if you're on the go.)
