If you've already read them on a Kindle, they'll automatically be updated. When I got the rights back, I went through all the books again and improved them. Like everything, the more you write the better you get--and I took that opportunity to revisit my earlier works.

Quotes by Joanna Campbell Slan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“when it’s your own child, you are not a babysitter. It’s called parenting.”
Joanna Campbell Slan, Love, Die, Neighbor

“I can't understand people being rude to their spouses. Your husband or wife should be the one person in the world you treat with loving patience. He or she chose you above all others-for a lifetime! And yet I see women who are nicer to their girlfriends, and men who are more thoughtful toward their employees. That's meshuganeh. Friends come and go. Employees move on. Your partner is there for the long haul. He deserves your best every day of your life.”
Joanna Campbell Slan, Cut, Crop & Die

“Instinctively, I realized that if I didn’t build a life for myself outside the orb of my child’s world, I would cripple both of us.”
Joanna Campbell Slan, Love, Die, Neighbor

“You actually don’t need much. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have it all.”
Gene Simmons, Me, Inc.: Build an Army of One, Unleash Your Inner Rock God, Win in Life and Business – Thirteen Principles for Career Strategy and Financial Success

“I promised myself that I would educate myself, and that I would never stop educating myself. It was my responsibility to keep learning. I would spend hours at the library on the weekends and read everything I could get my hands on. Books on dinosaurs. Books on history. I almost read the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica. And all for free. The reason I’m telling all of you this is that I want you to take this point to heart and make you understand that it’s your responsibility to educate yourself.”
