A book-hoarder who wants to learn everything and anything I can when I can through books (especially when hands-on experience not likely or available). A cup of coffee (or afternoon tea) and a good book while on my porch is my idea of a great relaxing time.

My initial impression was that this book was more about individual fundraising efforts, not creating a non profit org. If you need to start one for a good cause, it's got oodles of info on how to reach out, set up your messaging and put your organization out there. If you are hoping to be a much better fundraiser on your own on behalf of another charity, then it's not so useful.
Probably would get more out of the Selling for Dummies book instead in the case of individual efforts.
I mention the book's age because I'm sure some of the science has changed since it was first published, but it just gives you more to reflect on and verify for your own safety. There is a lot available about running, how to hydrate, what to eat, etc., but not so much on how a woman's physiology plays a part in how she runs or gets/keeps/loses energy. Things like our periods, pregnancy, menopause, etc. and hormonal changes associated with these times affect us and how we might train, eat, have to adjust. While there are about 75 pages dedicated to these areas in this book, there is much more for general running safety, how to start different programs, what to do afterward, etc.
It's a great resource for any woman who wants to run safely and well.
It's a short read with a lot of info. Some tips are repetitive (guess that means they work, right?) but some really make you think. I have a lot of questions and research to do on the stuff I hadn't thought about before on my own blogging journey. Good little book to have as a reference or pass around.
I needed to read this book, and am so glad I jumped the book line schedule with it. I'm actually training for my first marathon and felt this would be helpful. And it is, for the mental game and explaining what happens as we run.
There is a lot of wisdom in these pages, analogies, bits of Shambhala teachings, but not over your head into a philosophic rabbit hole. The mind and body were meant to work together, and this book discusses the ways it happens during runs or meditation (or both), or how it goes astray and how to get that connection back.
Wonderful resource I'll be referring back to often.
I was pleased to pick this book up and give it a shot as someone who wants to get into vlogging and (again) blogging one day soon. Podcasting has changed a bit over the years and even videos on Youtube share the title of "podcast" if only because of the other places the audio ends up.
The author has had their hands in many successful podcasts and programs such as the TED Radio Hour and many things produced by NPR for consumers. He explains how to approach your channel, how to find your ideal listeners (or create them), ways to expand once your listener base gets larger and attract more audience members, etc.
I'll be hanging onto this book as a useful guide and a reminder of how to do audio storytelling or programs in multiple formats (I firmly believe what's been specified here can be applicable to YouTube, Twitch …
