The Leisureguy Series
For those who want to learn to improvise recipes and develop their own cooking style. User comment:
This cooking “compendium” is just that: a complete guide to everything in the kitchen, from food content to gadgetry to utensils to recipes, shopping, and more. Easy to read, it can be taken and enjoyed anywhere, and it’s fully linked, so that the reader can go directly to the author’s resources to find more detail if needed. If you’re diabetic or suffer from low blood sugar, the recipes alone are worth having, and again, in the Reading section of the book, you’re pointed to the best recipe sites and books online. Moreover, “LeisureGuy’s Cooking Compendium” deals directly with the age-old problems of cooking for taste, and cooking for one or two people. Simply put, it helps you prevent the propensity to overcook, overeat, and thus waste time, food, and money.
Written for the man who wants to enjoy his shave. User comment:
I bought this as a gift for my fiancé, along with a wet-shaving starting kit and a safety razor. He DEVOURED this book, and finds himself reading it again and again. He finally enjoys shaving. This book has helped him figure out so many things about wet shaving, and has recommended it to all of his friends and family. Truly a great source of information for any man.
Get control of your finances before they control you. Free. User comment:
I have listened to many lectures, bought books on financial planning and budgeting, and had consultation one-on-one. I am 33, and have zero saving and need a budget. Your tool is the first thing I feel I could use to
make my goal of saving that I need to do by next year September.
This tool gave a clear amount of how much I need to save! Thanks.

My company has been producing conferences for training professionals for 20 years. I’m fairly new to the company but have noticed that we have struggled to adequately cover technology-assisted learning in the past 2 years, and looking at your list of tools, I now have a inkling of why. Thanks for the insight into the ever-widening palette of tools for learning organizations.
Do you ever speak at conferences?

I no longer speak at or attend conferences, but check out this post. Perhaps Jane Hart (who wrote the post) would speak or could recommend others for your consideration.
I certainly wish you success. I worked for quite a few organizations in my career, none of which qualified as a learning organization (as I understand it—and Chris Argyris is one of my favorite authors). The problem is that organizations are built of a hierarchy of power, and a learning organization is a changing organization—and for those currently in power, change is a threat. So the power is used to undermine the attempts to institute to learning and change. Or so it seemed to me.

Dear LeisureGuy
What a great website! Thanks for the information on Gourmet Shaving. I’ve referred to this site before but I finally got a chance to carefully read it at a “leisurely” pace to fully absorb the text and view the links and videos. Every time I “stop in” at the site, I get charged up to practice what I’ve read.
Next stop is the bookstore to purchase the book!
Best regards,
Harry

Many thanks for your kind remarks, Harry. Hope you enjoy the book. (Only the Gourmet Shaving book is available through Amazon and the like; the others have to be obtained through Lulu.com—see the links above.)
