It’s all I have to give you. I don’t know where you can get the book you mentioned.

I have been trying to buy a copy of the “Mind Machine Buyers Guide” but there is a problem. Their way of doing business is antiquated and dodgy at best. Their site says that you can pay by credit card through the internet but that link has been disabled. You try to call them you get some guy you can’t understand and if you make the mistake of asking him to repeat himself he hangs up on you. I called twice and then waited a few days and had a friend of mine call up and when she asked him to repeat himself because she couldn’t understand him, he hung up on her as well. If you want the book you have to mail them a check or money order. Really?!?!?!? The last time I took care of a purchase that way, was over 30yrs ago when I ordered my Capt. Crunch secret decoder wheel. I mean my goodness they surveyed brain entrainment techno hardware and that’s the best delivery system for their merchandise? Now my question: is there anywhere and/or anyone else to get this book from and how recent was this survey? I mean if its years old then its outdated and not worth the expense or their handicapped customer relations. Is there a website that does the kind of research into these units with the same type of empirical base lines and equalization’s that they did? I want a true study and consumer type report not one guy’s opinion who happens to own a few units.

I want to tell you that the blog on follow through served to re-open communication between myself and a loved one. She had dropped out of communication with me and the blog spoke to the problem, so I bit the bullet and sent it to her along with a horoscope for her that said to get in touch with loved ones. Today I rec’d an email from her asking for a skype call.
I know this puts a smile on your face as it does mine. Thanks for all you do that touches lives thousands of mile apart.

Comment on First Impressions Rule by cateyeceleste

I agree, it is very important to make a first impression count. Depending on the situation, I’ve experienced in my life that the experience itself surrounding an introduction or first impression can effect the way I present myself. For instance… If I feel like I’m needing to win the favor of someone by the impression I make, I’ll try to stay true to my character and really throw in the charm factor. If I’m feeling like I’m being oogled at by someone I don’t know who makes me feel uncomfortable, I’ll throw in the “bitch” factor in order to influence the person that I’m not as approachable. Both impressions are from me, but one is more genuine to my character then the other. Usually this is based off of a judgement that I make in the situation that governs the way I think the encounter will benefit me.
Either way, First impressions are a way that we use our judgement to influence a situation that we experience. Make it count… and usually we do when we feel it will help us out. Job interviews are one of the best demonstrations of this I think. We know what the outcome will be if we’re too casual, so we adjust our behavior for the first impression so that we sell ourselves and try to score the job. Most likely, if the employer liked you, you score the job. If the first impression wasn’t so favorable, chances are that you wont be called back for a second chance, or the job. Make it count indeed.
