  "We are doing something different today. Hello. Christina reached out in the personal messages of Swell to talk about this particular review of Courage to be disliked that I dropped on Goodreads and she was wondering why my review reads the way that it does. More specifically, why I say that the book is difficult to read and yet it is a fantastic read. She has questions along this lines of why I say that it is a reader's job to extract value and not a writer's job to provide it."

  "When your book creates history for the right reasons and the wrong reasons. Hello. Sril. Let's talk about the first invasion of privacy case brought on on a book in Japan by the book after the banquet by the author Yukio Mishima. So Yukiyo Mishima was known for being.

An emperor should rule the country."

  "Hello. So everybody is trying to sell us stuff these days, right? And not all the products that we are being sold are bad. Some products are really, really good. But what all of these good products and bad mediocre products have in common is excellent sales messaging. Every single product, whether the product is good or not, they get their sales and marketing done really well. So how exactly are you supposed to know whether what product you are investing in is good or not?"

• February 05, 2024@Binati_Sheth | Be better at online discourse by avoiding this one thing

  Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
  
  "So this is the technique that is surprisingly used in online discourse a lot, because you will see influencers, intellectuals, and I am sure I have fallen victim to using Morton Bailey sometime as well, specifically when it comes to things I'm very, very emotional about, like new authors being attacked, things of the sort, no matter how intentional I try to be about the words. You can very easily fall prey to Morton Bailey, because Morton Bailey, by definition is a defense mechanism."

• February 02, 2024@Binati_Sheth | Discussing death (live) on Social Media

  Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
  
  "And I wrote about this on LinkedIn, and I made a little video on YouTube as well. But in a sense, the point is, death is written in a way that a lot of people don't write it. Under the creative genius of Yukiyo Mishima. This is where me and Tim, specifically from Japan, expert insights, got to talking to each other. And we were like, let's do a live about death. And I was like, fine, I absolutely don't mind."

• January 27, 2024@Binati_Sheth | Show the readers, make them care (instead of just telling them things)

  Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth

And today, let's talk about the goat, greatest of all time, goat of book writing as well as storytelling, which is show don't tell.

• January 24, 2024@Binati_Sheth | The Hugo 2023 controvery is just infuriating

  Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
  
  "No, this time it is so much worse. This is actually, I think, a controversy that is not going to get as popular as other controversies, like two authors fighting each other and things of the sort. I think a lot of this controversy will be swept under the rug. But the crux of it is, for the first time, one of the biggest democratic award shows in the world, which awards quality and awards what the audience wants."

• January 24, 2024@Binati_Sheth | My name is … mosquito murderer

  Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
  
  "I discovered a hidden talent when I had to get rid of some mosquitoes without using any chemical agents or making those snappity snap, clappy clap sounds, where we just go clapping around, hoping to get lucky. So rather than a hidden talent, this would be a technique. And I don't know what was going through my head. I was so young, I don't even remember exactly what it was, but I remember the effects of this technique. So this is what you do."

• December 09, 2023@Binati_Sheth | Process the plagiarism

  Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
  
  "Many instances, lawyers, an email going from a lawyer's email ID to the person who has plagiarized your work, that is enough to kind of scare them to take the work down, right? So have somebody who can legally advise you and then maybe speak on your behalf to the person who has plagiarized you so that the person who's plagiarized you knows that you know, and you could do something about the plagiarism."
