Confessions in the Mainstream

Dear Friends,      

Again, I continue to owe all of you a big debt of gratitude for helping me share the message of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. As many of you know, if you have read the book and listened to my message, this is a personal calling for me. One seeded in conviction to make the world a better place for my daughter ---for all our children and our grandchildren. I never planned on the success of this book. However, I did hope that its message would be one that would help to awaken people and in some way contribute to a fundamental change in consciousness, because this is truly what will change the world as we know it today. After over 18 months of traveling and working, along with many of you, to spread the word person-to-person across the world, the mainstreaming of its message is truly happening in ways that many of us couldn't see a year ago. I thank you.

A BIG MILESTONES THIS WEEK THAT YOU HELPED TO CREATE
Landon Thomas Jr. covered my talk at Transitions Bookplace earlier this month. It is a New Age bookstore in Chicago. Thomas then wrote a lengthy piece in the New York Times today called "Confessing to the Converted."  He did a thorough job higlighting some of the most provocative points in the book and linking it to events, past and present.

This week also brought another opportunity to tell the story on DEMOCRACY NOW.

Confessions in paperback is now this week #5 on the NY Times Bestseller list also. I've also received word that we also made these lists:

#5: LA Times
#6: San Francisco Chronicle
#99: USA Today
#10: Washington Post
#3: Powells

Independent stores by region:

#7 NEBA -- New England Booksellers Association
#4 MPBA -- Mountains & Plains Booksellers Association
#4 PNBA -- Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association
#8 Heartland Independent
#6 SCBA -- Southern California Booksellers Association
#4 NCIBA -- Northern California Independent Booksellers Association
#3 NAIBA -- New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association

I share these as symbols of progress that have come from the work of many individuals who helped make this possible, because they listened and connected the message to their experiences and long-held questions and passed it along to others.

As the NY Times article attests, there are growing crowds that have been meeting me on the road. This is very different than last year. With all the surrounding happenings we have witnessed, few are questioning the truthfulness of my account. Again, I am most grateful to all of you for helping me in the distance to spread the word and to find ways in your own span of influence to begin change through your own actions.

We can change the world together! It is our responsibility to do it. Let me know what you are doing. I would like to hear more.
