News from the Hammock

I have not been posting these last several months for a couple of compelling reasons:

1. I've been participating in a special Transcendental Meditation program that I have been enjoying immensely. Unfortunately it absorbs a lot of time, leaving little left for things like blogging.

2. In the time I do have, I've been writing my next book which is currently in the hands of an editor who I revere. Once I incorporate her ruthless edits - always a shocking, yet ultimately rewarding process, I'll be ready to lay out the book and publish it.  I will release it as an e-book first even before it goes to the printer. I think it is going to be a humdinger so stay tuned. If you want to be alerted when it is ready, send me an email to fredg@lisco.com and I'll put you on my mailing list. For those of you who were just horrified by that complete lack of on-line savvy, rest assured that I am in the process of upgrading my entire Internet presence so that things like building an email list will be automated.

For more news, the translation rights to my first book, The Lazy Way to Success, have been sold to 8 foreign publishers. Now folks interested in my brand of laziness can read my deathless prose in German, Portuguese, Czech, Hungarian, Korean, Chinese (simple character), and Chinese (complex character). The Japanese publisher who purchased the rights, failed to do anything in a timely manner so those rights revert back to me. I hope to sell them again soon. The German edition, by the way, is in its third printing.

For those who prefer pixels, The Lazy Way to Success is also available as an e-book. The e-book comes with a pile of bonus interviews of yours truly. If you are interested in it, please go to www.lazysuccess.com.

I am extremely stoked about my new book, Perfect Mind Perfect Motion. I think it is the most important book on sports ever written. It shifts the paradigm dramatically and I think it will change the way sports are taught, practiced, and played throughout the world. Hang onto your hats, folks. It should be available as an e-book in about one month.

That's it for now.

Wishing you all effortless success,
Fred
