I read a lot of books but almost never upload a review.<\/p>\n

Why bother uploading a book review? It’s trapped in their system forever.<\/p>\n

If your really passionate about a book forget writing a review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What I suggest is you create a manifesto <\/strong>sharing the best parts<\/strong> of the book, your commentary<\/strong>, or some insights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Give people a taste of what the book provides.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sell them by helping them<\/strong> (giving them an inside look) and giving them a taste<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I thought, the best way to do this, is by showing you.<\/p>\n

So I have prepared a manifesto on, Business Stripped Bare by Richard Branson.<\/p>\n

You can download it here<\/a>\u00a0(if your having trouble downloading)\u00a0or view below (best viewed fullscreen).<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n
Business Stripped Bare Manifesto<\/a> – Upload a Document to Scribd<\/a><\/div>\n

If you enjoy it, print it out, share with your friends and grab the book.<\/p>\n

Makes sense huh? have a book of your own? Trying to convince a friend to read this great book you love?<\/p>\n

Make a short manifesto, sell by showing, and help your idea spread.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
