Book Jewel of the Month: Road Map to Power (Husain)

 


What is a book jewel? A sometimes-overlooked book with remarkable insight and potential significance. Each month, we share near-daily, or as often as possible, reviews of the monthly book jewel - short, succinct reviews that can be read in 1-2 minutes with links to the reviewer by reviewers whose words are worthy of being heard and whose opinions are worthy of being considered. Sometimes a couple of minutes contains more impressive thought than ten times that many. We will let you decide that.

This month's book jewel is Road Map to Power by Syed and Darius Husain.

Description

What is the true source of authentic power? Offering a detour from the dead end of this "buy more, be more" culture, the authors demonstrate why the traditional routes to power are accessible only for an elite few. Wrapping warm, profound stories of empowerment around an extensive body of research, Road Map to Power is your guide to a life of dignity, satisfaction, and happiness.

5 STAR Review: Excerpt by Hilary Hawkes for Readers' Favorite
"Road Map to Power is a thought-provoking book that examines the true source of personal power, how our quest for success and achievement originated, and how it affects us today. Road Map to Power is well-written and very readable. This is a book with a message that could be a starting point for transforming the lives of readers stuck in pursuing something unattainable to them personally or who are caught up in false beliefs that money, better possessions or approval will bring them the happiness they crave."

AWARD
Readers' Favorite, bronze award



Like most of us, I’ve experienced the sting of death in my personal life but more so in my 45-year career as a Registered Nurse and Case Manager. This is one book that I’d definitely recommend to family members who are enduring bereavement!

Ms. Wells-Smith describes how she sadly and suddenly lost her only son in his 20th decade of life. In the midst of her anguish however, she’s been given signs of reassurance that could have only come from her Higher Power.

Ms. Wells-Smith poignantly conveys how and why her faith has unshackled her from the grips of incapacitating grief. She cites examples and bears witness to the fact that by claiming the promises given to each of us, we can endure that which might seem impossible to endure.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

  1948-2021 It is with great sadness that MSI Press notes the death of Carl Leaver, CEO of the Press and typesetter and graphic designer par excellence . Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over t...

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Should you treat your writing as a business?

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  This week we look at whether an author should set up a formal business or simply treat writing as a side gig, That, of course, depends. It depends on an author's income level, long-term goals, and risk tolerance.  Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of formalizing a writing business versus staying a sole proprietor and paying taxes on royalties. Option 1: Treat Writing as a Side Gig (No Formal Business) If you earn royalties from book sales but don’t set up a separate business entity, the IRS considers you a sole proprietor by default . You report book income on Schedule C of your personal tax return and pay self-employment tax. ✅ P...
