Rachel Cohen rachel.cohen@mindspring.comSEPTEMBER 28th … this Friday … in Corte MaderaFriends,
If you haven’t yet heard me “kvell” (Yiddish for “gush wildly”) about the fact that my kid brother has just become a published author and is on his way to being the next Tony Robbins of the current era, then let this be the moment.
Mike’s spent the past 7 years building a successul motivational speaking, coaching and training career, following his release from major league baseball. His book “Focus on the Good Stuff: The Power of Appreciation” was just released last month by SF publisher Jossey-Bass, and is brandishing some good media (TV & Radio) attention, including a great article on Forbes.com covering the corporate perspective.
For you local Marinites, he’ll be speaking this Friday night at Book Passage in Corte Madera, 7pm. If you’ve not experienced his personal or speaking style, it’s a real treat. His charismatic, optimistic and down-to-earth approach can bring a smile to even the most hardened curmudgeon!
If you can’t make it Friday, but are interested in picking up a copy of the book, it’s available in most major bookstores, and of course, on Amazon (where it went to #4 overall and #1 in Self-Help the first week it was released!)
It would be fun to see you Friday. If not, thanks in advance for passing this on to interested folks and for considering purchasing his book! 
It’s a very cool read!
Thanks for your interest & support.
With Gratitude & Love,
Rachel
