Chapter-A-Day

Don't have time to read anymore? Now you can get free, quick literature via email. More than 100; 000 people open their email each day to read a chapter of a book, through Chapter-A-Day, an online book club created two years ago. It's a free email service that provides a short daily reading for busy people, exposing them to literature they may not find on their own, inspiring some to recommit to the reading habit. About 550 public library systems representing over 3, 000 branch libraries already have signed up to offer Chapter-A-Day. Via email, participants get about five minutes' worth of reading every day. After three chapters are emailed, the installments stop, and those who want to keep reading can borrow the book at their public library or purchase it online. Chapter-A-Day has eight free book clubs, and sells thousands of books each month.

Chapter-A-Day started in 1999 when Suzanne Beecher, a lifelong book lover, realized how many of the women who worked part-time for her software development company didn't have time in their busy lives to read. She decided to type part of a chapter of a book, and send it to her employees through email. The next day she typed a little more, and continued to send literary installments each day. She says she started getting feedback from the staff about how reading made them feel. "They were interested, and realized that, though they didn't have time in their busy lives for reading, just reading that little bit each day got them back in the habit. "

Realizing that many other people could benefit, she decided to take the idea even further and start an email "chapter-a-day" book club to help others ease their way back into daily reading."Reading makes changes in people's lives," Beecher says.

Pat Dempsey, a librarian at a public library in Ohio, has found Chapter-A-Day helps her library clients get back in the habit of reading. "It's a different way to get people hooked on books," she says.

The First Four Minutes

When do people decide whether or not theywant to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according toa book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first fourminutes", he offers this advice to anyone (46) "Every time you meet someone in asocial situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot ofpeople's whole lives would change if they did just that. "

You may have noticed that the averageperson does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. Hekeeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if (47) If anyone has ever done this to you, youprobably did not like him very much.

When we are introduced to new people, theauthor suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. Ingeneral, he says, "People like people who like themselves".

On the other hand, we should not make theother person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appearinterested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears, and hopes.

Hearing such advice, one might say,"But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. Itwould be dishonest for me to act that way. "

In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that alittle practice can help us (48) We can become accustomed toany changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting usedto a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than theold one. "

But isn't it dishonest to give theappearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way?Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not alwaysgood for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes ofcontact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes ofcontact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health orto mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions andimpressions.

Much of (49) alsoapplies to relationships with family members and friends. For a husband andwife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first fourminutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that thesefirst few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasantmatters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.

The author says that interpersonalrelations should be taught as a required course in every school, along withreading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life dependsmainly on (50) That is at least as important as how much weknow.
