Attention everyone who chooses to watch this--the sound quality is extremely poor. There are two main work-arounds for this: (1) Headphones. For some reason, when I plugged in my headphones the sound came through fine, at half the volume. (2) Captions. If you have good eyesight, and don't mind reading your videos, this works, too.

@Australian_Lady

Mr. Geller, thank you. Brilliant and insightful content. I thoroughly enjoyed the exercise of listening with intent due to poor sound quality. Captions helped tremendously. Take away for me was: Communicate the core idea easily. Allow your writing style to be open, free, generous, uncluttered. "All that really matters is that the next book I buy might just change my life." Brilliant!
@craigenputtock
@craigenputtock 4 года назад
Perhaps. But ultimately what makes a best seller (in the long-term sense of the word) is something original. Like the Polity of Beasts. People either hate it or love it, but they all admit there's nothing else like it.

I think a good idea for a book is about a woman who is being framed over her own artwork, this woman started painting when her husband became disabled, and she started painting over ten years ago but some crooked politicians and his mobsters friends came up with ways to frame her.

I think this make a good book. the title is called Secrets it about a woman who being frame over her painting that she painted,. The story is people lying to help mobster make money off her painting, because they don't like her, so they frame her. By deleted videos footage of her buying art supplies and crooked people be coming into her home taken pictures of her painting.

No sound except low low blips of what I assume to be words. The mike is at the lips ....I can't believe it is a malfunctioning mkre because the audience would be saying....we can't hear. Plz turn on your mike! Therefore it must be in the posting I the general public???? Not good public relations. Was looking forward to hearing what he had to say.
