pr, books

I remember frequenting our College library to borrow a number of books and I remember all too clearly how I’d borrow several classmates’ library cards just so I can finish this very interesting book from Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Positive Thinking. I simply enjoy reading books and learning from it, that is why when I was approached to share all about the new book by the same author, I simply cannot say no.

It turns out, the international bestseller, The Power of Positive Thinking, has a new brother as Norman Vincent Peale comes out another exciting must-read book! Read more about it in the press release below:

From the author of the international bestseller “The Power of Positive Thinking” comes a little book that contains more wisdom than you might think.

Norman Vincent Peale provides the secrets of a winning attitude in “Six Attitudes for Winners.” Using the practical help from this little pocket book you can learn how to face fears, confront worries, solve problems, put excitement into your life, throw away personality crutches, and anticipate the future.

Here’s what people say about “Six Attitudes for Winners”:

“This book is truly packed with so much helpful information. Don’t let the size of the book fool you. Although it is pocket size, it is jam-packed with so many lessons for all to lead their life by.” –Monique Nunn

“Dr. Peale’s ability to put a lot of valid, life-changing material in a small book is demonstrated eloquently in this work. He wastes no words in getting straight to the point of how to improve your life. The first attitude he addresses is to approach problems from the proper persepctive, i.e., not from the mindset of a victim, but of an overcomer! Problems are temporary. They help mold character.

We’re reminded of ultimate reality as Dr. Peale writes, “in the last analysis, only the God-directed life can attain true and basic success.” The work ethic is stressed also. These truths are doable, time-tested, and not bound by any culture. They work if you work them.” –Dr. W. G. Covington, Jr.

“Frustrated, depressed, hopeless, need guidance, this book is for you!” –SCP Brother Salvatore

Book Review: Jared’s Happy 4th Birthday Book From I See Me

14 Comments

Not too long ago, I was approached by I See Me if they can send over a free sample in exchange for an honest review. Books are my absolute loves and a personalized book for the little man {or for anyone in any age} is all right in my book, and I believe in anyone’s book, at any given time! :-))

From a wide array of exciting books for children to choose from, I opted for this Very Happy Birthday Personalized Book for Boys. It was rather timely as my son will be celebrating his 4th birthday this month. A few weeks after I submitted my request for this book, we received the parcel at home. The book tucked safely in a sea of bubblewraps to ensure that my son gets it in the best of condition.

I See Me Books in a nutshell

Jared’s Very Happy 4th Birthday book!

The I See Me Books are unlike most run-of-the-mill books you can simply purchase at any physical bookstores or any book shops online. They are personalized with your children’s faces and names, with your children playing a part of the book and being an important part of the story. Now, I know most mums will agree that there is nothing that thrills our kids that most, from the little babies to the ever-impressionable toddlers, than to see their faces or read their names on print! Call them little narcissists but they do get a kick at seeing their faces in just about anywhere, or reading their names on stuff they own, when they are a bit older.

Out of a wide variety of I See Me books available, one of the other reasons why I opted for the Happy Birthday Book is that my son is now in the his reading-my-letters phase. He can now read all the letters of the alphabet and although he is still hard-up on stringing these letters into words, he can now spell his own name and recognize them when he sees it. I am sure he will be delighted to read his name in every page of this personalized book. Besides he also enjoys reading and is now rediscovering his love for mum-reading-aloud so he will surely have a fascinating time hearing me read all about the animals’ adventure in helping prepare a special birthday party for him! And did I mention he loves animals? Plus it is also a perfect tool to build up his anticipation for his upcoming birthday! 😀

I got a couple of vouchers from Lazada.com.ph which I used to order a couple of stuff for me and the little man just recently. Jared’s 4th birthday is fast approaching so I decided to get him this Cars 2 double decker transporter bus which he wanted to have for quite some time now. I also ordered a couple of Thomas the Train books for my boy, as well as a book and a jeggings for myself.

I am a first time Lazada shopper and for the pleasurable experience, I think it will be my go-to place whenever I need to do some online shopping. What I love about it? The site is so easy-peasy to use that even children can buy from them. True to their word, they offer 2-day delivery to places like ours which is quite near but is out of bounds from Manila. The items are neatly packed and placed in pouches, or in boxes in case of fragile items like cosmetics and tin lunch boxes. And what’s even better is they even offer free shipping on almost all items. Shopping with Lazada not only make shopping convenient and stress-free for us mums, it also allows us to have good value for our hard-earned money with various discount and appealing offers.

Just recently Lazada tied up with another industry giant, Megalink,  check out the rest of the press release here:
