Free Liquid Meditation ("Zazen Formula")

Imagine if there were a way to instantly relax, let go, and meditate. Melatonin might help. Lots of sleep beforehand, not eating, and a healthy amount of exercise is also a good combination. But sometimes renewing herbs can act as an instant tonic for stressed out meditators. There is no need to buy a product. Concoct your own. (We recommend an unrelated US company, Ron Teaguarden's Dragon Herbs). It's easy (with a free consultation). But for the less adventurous, Zazen Formula* unites age-old tradition with modern science. Zazen has created a proprietary formula that includes herbal sleep enhancers, Reishi mushroom extract, jujube extract, valerian extract, GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid), ginkgo biloba, ashwagandha, hops extract, passion flower extract, L-theanine, B-complex vitamins, calcium, magnesium citrate, and a combination of cell-protecting anti-oxidants and anti-aging compounds that have been recognized for their natural health optimizing, stress resistance, and rest-promoting properties.

"Go the F*** to Sleep" (book)

(Akashic Books) A PDF of the book Go the F--- to Sleep was widely circulated on the Internet and has now become a best-seller on Amazon.

Last week, a friend forwarded Southern California Public Radio's Madeleine Brand a PDF of a funny little book with a catchy title: Go the F*ck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach.

She forwarded it on to her friends... and apparently she wasn't alone. The book has become a viral sensation. The PDF was leaked, and now every parent under the Sun has seen it. [First Everyone Poops, now this!] It's the number one best-selling title on Amazon. And it hasn't even been released yet.

The publisher bumped up the release date from October to June because it was in such high demand. Fox has already optioned the rights to turn it into a movie. Here's a taste of it:

"The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear
Please go the f*** to sleep."

Here to talk about what this book's success could mean for publishing is Seth Godin. He's an author and founder of the Domino Project - an e-publishing venture: LISTEN
