Today, you can finally order your copy of An International Circus Affair: How a Nanjing Acrobat in San Francisco Changed American Circus Forever as either an e-book or a paperback!
We’ve moved the official launch up to Saturday, October 19th 3:30pm at Club Fugazi (I sent out a later date in the last newsletter). Everything about the book is right here, including my interview with Dan Holman on the Drop Everything podcast .
Writing this book was well out of my comfort zone, which was the subject of another interview with Maria Angelova for Authority Magazine (due out on Friday). Here’s a sneak peek:
Maria: “What is one of your favorite life lesson quotes?”
Jeff: ” ‘Instead of trying to get out of your comfort zone, expand it’ – Avner Eisenberg (Avner the Eccentric). Avner’s idea of expanding your comfort zone helps me try new things, like writing my first nonfiction book, which meant organizing an intimidating number of interviews and writing in a style that at first felt strange. Expanding my comfort zone let me adjust my self-image to include this new skill, and then embrace my now larger comfort zone.”
There is also an election coming up, and two years ago 120 million people who were eligible didn’t vote. We can do better. Citizen Joy core team member John Boyer has made a wonderful one-stop voting page where anyone can register to vote, check their registration, and request an absentee ballot, all in under 5 minutes!
