This book looks very interesting and helpful! Maybe I’ll try to purchase on of these… I like those tips You are writing about. And it isn’t so expensive – that is also important to me. Nice post.

Leo, Eric,

Forgot to add, I am sure it is worth every penny, but there are bunch of people like us, who are jobless for long time and who are your blog readers and potential buyers. Just think of them as well. My 2 cents.

I really enjoy zen habits and eric’s websites very well and I will continue to read it, whenever I go to library or friend’s house with internet. Keep up the great work.

Long time follower

Leo, wow, I must be living somewhere else if people are still living large. We do not have cable, newspaper, magazine or internet, netflix, dvd, no cell etc you get the picture. I use library internet whenever I can.

@PS: I just wanted to second what Leo just said, but with an added comment.

One of the biggest assets we have when it comes to hard times is our drive to better our situation. If this book provides even the smallest amount of extra boost in our daily efforts/productivity it will have paid for itself in the first chapter alone.

When we spoke about pricing we certainly considered the current economy. As Leo pointed out, $14.95 is actually quite cheap compared to many of our everyday purchases.

@PS: We thought about the pricing, but honestly, I think this book is worth much more than the $14.95 … motivation, at least to me, has been invaluable, and has helped me to achieve countless goals. So if you look at it in terms of how much value you’re receiving, I think the book is actually a bargain. And while I know times are tough, people are still willing to pay $40-50 every month for an Internet connection or cable TV, and I think this one-time buy is much more valuable. :)

@amanda: Sure, you can just email them or tweet the url to this post! Thanks so much!
