Steve, the post that struck the deepest chord with me was your one about earning your first dollar doing what you love. That's what I'd like to see turned into your next book. I thought a good title might be "The Courage to Get Paid: How to Allow Yourself to Receive Money for Doing the Things You Love"

I know there are millions out there who hate the default path, but don't know how to build the courage to take the leap you did, and turn their interests or passions into their source of income. Especially in this climate of fear around money, that would be a HUGE service to offer.

There's a few books out there on the topic, but the ones I've seen have missed out on teaching you how to build your courage up to take the first steps. Yes it would overlap a little on your PDSP book, but having written your core principles there's going to be no topic that doesn't. (I admit I've only finished the first part of your book so far, but plan on doing a 30 day trial on implementing it in January!)

PS If you did decide to go with heart-centred living, which I'd also love, you might want to look up the study done in New York a few years back that showed a group of people meditating regularly actually had a measurable statistical impact on crime levels in the city. I have the printout in my filing cabinet, can send you the details if you want?
