There are very few truly talented people in the world. Because of this, they are tremendously influential. Bob Whitaker is one these people.

His books are few and thin, a great sign in an intellectual. ”

ME:

Good Lord, what a brilliant observation!

Eric Hoffer once mused,

“So many people write short books that are ful of brilliance. When those are successful, they then write bigger books going into the subject more, and those books are boring and useless.”

I made my best money writing long books for others. But you catch me flatfooted when you observe that my four books in my OWN name were short. In fact, I had to put in extra stuff at the insistence of the publishers.

Mark Twain’s first very successful book was “Innocents Abroad.” Back then a book had to sell for the high price of one dollar, so it had to be THICK. Twain kept on adding to it to get it to the required length.

So in the end, when someone asked him what “Innocents Abroad” consisted of, he replie,

“It’s kind of like the Planet Earth. There are a few good parts and a lot of desert, but most of it is water.”

It like this blog better.

It consists of some good, solid ground and something good land needs:
