It seems like some people object to the cover based on pre-conceived but inaccurate notions of what the book's content is like or what audience I'm trying to target.
One of the main reasons I wrote this book was to reach out to more people -- the kinds of people who aren't already visiting here. Regular visitors who already know me will most likely make their decision to buy or not buy with little concern for the cover.
I think it's good that some people say the cover is corporate-looking because corporate America needs to raise its consciousness rather badly, and I'd love to see what effect this book will have on such people. This book should appeal to intelligent corporate types as well as to their opposites because, again, the concepts are universal. It would make an ideal gift for an corporate CEO. Unfortunately it doesn't seem possible to have a cover with universal appeal.
This is actually a very hardcore, cerebral book. It wouldn't make sense for it to portray a soft image. |
