Jon Ward: In the Long Run: Is the Way We Define Success All Wrong?

Jim Axelrod's In the Long Run shows us that, in the end, it's only either failure or some combination of continual awareness, grace and a little luck that keeps the ambitious from losing their minds and sacrificing what's most important.

I have a similar thing happening with my enhanced ebook here at Huffington Post. This is not a commercial posting as my enhanced ebook is free and contains no advertising. With that out of the way, every time I post about my ebook it shows on my sales chart over at the iTunes ebook store. Then one day sales jumped a bunch and I couldn't understand why until a friend told me there was a book review in a local paper. I'm still learning about how to use social media to tell folks about my children's enhanced ebook. So here goes: "Box Head Man" is an enhanced ebook available only for the iPad. It is not an app but contains video to match the text and is written in Seussian style rhyme. It takes a little longer to download than a regular ebook because of the videos but much less time than a memory hungry app. Read the reviews at Apple and enjoy "Box Head Man" as it is one of the waves in the future of electronic books. It will most definitely become the very first enhanced children's ebook classic. Once again, it's free.
