What can a book do for you?

If you are able to help people achieve their basic desires for health, wealth, and/or happiness in some meaningful way, you have the potential to write a book.

So this week let’s look at three things:

1) the different ways you can author a book

2) writing personalities

3) just what a quality book can do for you.

Which of these methods of compiling content appeals to you?

I am the main voice in the book, and refer to others’ work as well, through stories, research, reference material etc.

I invite others to share their views and experience in the book, by contributing around the central theme.

I am the curator of others’ knowledge and present it with/without commentary.

I co-publish with others.
