I’ve had a huge influx of readers this year (awesome!), thanks for coming along you’re very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

Shining the light briefly (for all my new readers)\u00a0on my first book The Best Ideas are Free. It’s done hugely well, I’m very proud of it, and it delivers a lot of punch for what it is.\"\"<\/p>\n

Some of the reviews it’s had:<\/p>\n

“\u201cThe best ideas are free, but it\u2019s hard to know where to find them. Check out this book! Many of them are collected here.\u201d (From Chris Guillebeau of the Art of Nonconformity Blog).<\/em><\/p>\n

And a few others:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wrestle in communication through the user generations is wrapped up and captured perfectly in your book.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see the online world from a different and fresh perspective. It might even turn it upside down\u00a0\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m made of rubber! I got that from Chapter Four, where Young says, \u201cThere are times when things go sour and all falls apart, you\u2019ve hit rock bottom. No you haven\u2019t. This is just a part of the process of getting to where you need to go, you\u2019re made of rubber, so you need to bounce back, harder, faster and higher than before.\u201d Absolutely, and I love the visual image of bouncing back.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Best Ideas Are Free is the book I credit for driving me to me to create my first blog. Ben is an entrepreneurial and aspirational writer, but what I\u2019ve most enjoyed in the book is that the \u201cideas\u201d are practical, fast and simple to implement\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh and earlier this year Lee Hopkins<\/a> said:<\/p>\n

“None of these 63 ideas are long-winded. At most each will take two minutes to read, but the value of the ideas comes not from their brevity (or perhaps it does). The ideas are not new, but some are startling in how they make your head \u2018snap\u2019 in recognition of their \u2018rightness\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

When the pupil is ready the teacher will come, goes the ancient saying. Ben therefore can be quite rightly viewed a teacher of men (and women), a shining light in a wilderness dark with wolves in sheep\u2019s clothing.”<\/em><\/p>\n
