Readers Digest Best jokes.

“L aughter the best medicine” is a term coined by Reader’s Digest

and we deliver small doses in every issue of the magazine. But we

sometimes need an extra-large booster to get into really great shape,

and this book — a collection of the best jokes from all over — is it.

Sex, God, and Marriage

Five years ago we published the first edition of Sex,
God, and Marriage. Since then readers have responded
to it as to no other Plough title. It seems the book has
touched a tender nerve. Some find its message out of
sync with “reality.” Others say it unsettles them more
than they would like to admit. The vast majority have
written to say how grateful they are for the clear yet
compassionate guidance it offers.
If the past is any indication, Sex, God, and Marriage
will continue to prompt many more responses and
spark new discussion. Granted, it is a book whose
message few in our present age care to hear. But for
those who listen, it holds a promise. A reader recently
wrote to us to say, “All my past relationships failed
because they were built on sex, not God. Sex, God,
and Marriage has given me insight into how a true
relationship and marriage should be.” May it do the
same for many more.

Project Primer

Many projects fail because of the simplest of causes.

You don’t have to be a genius to deliver a project on time, nor do you have to be steeped in a

mystical project management methodology to be a project manager. If an averagely competent

person can’t deliver a project successfully after reading this primer then I will run buck naked

through Times Square on my 75th birthday.

See if I don’t!

The Monk who sold his ferrari

I have become a Robin Sharma fan after reading this book. The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is the book that made the biggest impact in my life so far. I recommend the book to everyone. Here are some of the key ideas I captured.

• Forget about the past. Dare to dream that you are more than the sum of your circumstances. Expect the best.
• Condition the mind. Don’t let negative thoughts enter it.
• You are building your destiny because only you decide how do you react to what happens to you.
• Persistence is the mother of personal change.
• With one eye fixed on the destination, there is only one left to guide you along the journey.
• Reflect on your day, on your life.
• What you visualize, you get.
• There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self. Run your own race.
