| Solving
the Human Equation - How to Win Friends and
Influence People We
generally learn our social skills by watching
our parents or our peers. Few of of us have
had training in the arts of living or of
interpersonal relationships. Few of us are
taught what to seek in a spouse. But there
are techniques that are very effective for
living well, and for getting along smoothly
with other people... even with prickly
people. This section discusses them. |
| Finding the Best
Shopping Bargains How
about a moderately-priced car good for
300,000 miles? What will minimize your total
automotive cost-of-ownership? What should you
you check when buying a home? Where can you
get unbiased shopping guidance and meaningful
price comparisons? How about auctions? How
about some fun window-shopping? |
Jobs,
Business Opportunities, Investments Making
money is a topic of great pith and moment for
the severely and not-so-severely gifted. This
section discusses job-hunting options,
money-making opportunities to supplement or
supplant your job, and investment options to
cultivate your own "money bush".

| Intelligence How
would you feel if you were
prodigiously intelligent? If you were
a genius? Would you be arrogant? A
nerd? What are supremely intelligent
people like? (You say you are
supremely intelligent? Oops! Sorry!)
How can you determine your own
intelligence? Can you increase your
intelligence? Are there any
"smart pills"? What's
available to help you if your child
is gifted? Are there free
universities? What about Ritalin and
ADD? (P. S. Be sure to catch Darryl
Miyaguchi's wonderful "Uncommonly
Difficult IQ Tests"
page.) |

| Reviewing
the Past and Predicting the Future: Out of
Your Yesterdays into Tomorrow Have you
ever wondered what it would have been like to
have lived in 1800? In 1900? To have grown up
in the 30's? Wonder what it willl be like
next year? In five years? In fifty?. |
| Short Stories Humorous,
sci-fi, and conventional short stories.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if benevolent aliens
gave us super-advanced technology! It
would be wonderful, wouldn't it? Or meet Joe
and Benny, the world's smartest teenagers.
With Joe and Benny, your money's practically
in the bank. Or experience life with the
Hoopers as they try to upstage their
neighbors, the Kowalskis. |
| Poetry Have you
ever heard of Vivian Smallwood? I didn't
think so. Vivian Smallwood is a mouse that
roared—an unknown poetess who lived her
life and died her death in a suburb of
Mobile. She produced some of the finest
poetry that my sister and I have ever read,
rivalling, perhaps, Shakespeare or Emily
Dickenson. My poetry and a few other
carefully chosen poems are also on display
here. I think you'll likeat least some of
them. |
