Book Giveaway Winners & Link Karma

Two weeks ago I posed the question: “are you doing what you love?” Thank you for your wonderful answers. Some notable responses included:

  • “Yes!!Yes!!! I love what I am doing!!! I get up everyday and say I love this day!!”
  • “I’m currently doing what I like, and working towards doing what I love.”
  • “I took a risk and it paid off. I’m doing what I’ve always wanted to do.”

If you would like to read more of the responses (there were over 48), here is the post: Ask the Reader: Are You Doing What You Love?

Also, we have a number of copies of Sway: The Irrestistible Pull of Irrational Behavior by Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman to give away for our favorite responses. The recipients of the book are:

“Dear Senator McCain and Senator Obama: You are running for a position that we lost faith in.” Al looks at what makes a great leader in his article, Eight Rules of Leadership from George Washington.
