The Best of Braverman On Sale Now!

After three years in the making, The Best of Braverman is finally available. The response to the pre-launch has been overwhelming, and I am truly humbled. I had no idea so many people wanted to read my crazy Wall Street story.

Writing and publishing the book has been an incredible learning experience. It takes more than being a good storyteller to make something like this a reality. I've transitioned from author to self-publisher to owner of a publishing startup. I know when you read the book you'll be glad I took my time and made the reading experience the best that it can be.

As I mentioned in the FAQs, WSO readers also get my next book for free when it's released later this year. It's a book on all my best Gmail hacks, and when you see all that's possible with Gmail, you'll probably make it your home screen. Gmail is a truly amazing productivity tool when it's set up properly, and the book will show you how to save hours of your life, stay more organized, and never neglect an important email again.

I don't even read books and I bought one.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

So when will it crack the NY Times bestseller list? Keep us posted when it sells its first million copies!

Congrats again, Eddie.

So bought this on the pre release, finished it the first day. Overall i think its a fantastic read, ive printed out a couple of the chapters and going to keep them as a reference/words of wisdom. The stories from the "good old days" are great but as expected, the true gems are the more general teachings about life. A lot of the chapters you can find as posts on WSO, but honestly its worth the purchase price to a) get the unreleased chapters and b) have them all in one place and read them all at once.

Just wanted to say thanks Eddie for putting that together.

 

Just got my copy ! Can't wait to burn through those pages. Congrats on your venture and a job well done.

Death is certain; Life aint.
 

Just bought. Wow, Gumroad makes it really quick and streamlined to buy something. I like how they ask you to create an account AFTER you buy something, rather than hassling you before. Very impressive.

Can't wait to read. Congrats on finishing it, Eddie!

Hi, Eric Stratton, rush chairman, damn glad to meet you.
 

I actually found Gumroad's checkout a bit odd. The delivery option is email but you only enter your email address once if I remember correctly. Pretty easy to f that up and then not get your ebook. And there was no order number so it's not like there is an easy way to reference the purchase.

I look forward to reading the book though.

 

I've really enjoyed your posts and your sharing of job experiences here, so, no brainer for me.. just bought it :)

Colourful TV, colourless Life.
