Answer “Why the ripples?” and win a free copy!
The Zen of MLM isn’t even out yet, and it’s already received an awful lot of very nice comments and commentary. However, nobody has yet mentioned the graphic on the cover — and nobody has yet said, “Huh? Whaddya mean, ‘Zen’?”
As far as the “Zen” thing goes, I didn’t want to overstate my case (overstating is so unZen), but I did make two concessions to the reader’s “need to know” in the book. First, on page vix (the last page before we actually get to page 1) I give a few hints as to what the whole “zen” thing is about. (See them here.) And at the very end of the book, I added a whole new essay called “The Zenification of Network Marketing.” You can read an excerpt of that Epilogue here.
But what about that graphic — you know, the whole droplet of water and spreading concentric ripples thing?
Well, I am hereby officially offering a free autographed copy of the book, postage-paid, to the first person who writes in with a convincing explanation of why we chose this particular illustration for the book’s cover.
Click the “Contact Me” link at the top this page, or send an email to jdm@johndavidmann.com, with your explanation of why the ripples before June 1 and I’ll publish your answer — and send a free postage-paid copy of the book to whoever sends in the very best answer!
