A unique book series, The Skinny On, has emerged and is rapidly receiving rave reviews from readers around the world. The series began two years ago right here in Connecticut. What sets this new series apart from ordinary books is not only its ability to deliver concise, factual information, but to do so in an entertaining and easily digestible manner. The books, which range in topic from the housing crisis and credit cards to persuasion and will power, provide readers with a vast amount of knowledge.
The Skinny On series addresses and adapts to the modern way in which people read, collect and comprehend information in the age of instant communication and the Internet. Few people who grew up in such an age have the time, patience or attention span to read long pages of tiny, single-spaced text in a giant book.

For green readers, The Skinny On is the perfect series. First, it eliminates the need to read all of the giant books (made of trees) to uncover information. Instead, author Jim Randel, entrepreneur and Westport resident, presents the facts in an effective and efficient style. Secondly, The Skinny On is available as an e-book. Reading books on a computer, Kindle or an Ipad saves paper and trees, but best of all, the books arrive instantly.
What separates The Skinny On series from your average book is the fact that they can be read and digested in under an hour. Best of all, after an hour, readers are not only entertained, but are also equipped with a new understanding of the topic. The most recently released Skinny On book, entitled, The Skinny on Creativity: Thinking Outside the Box, offers advice on how to be more crafty in solving problems, considering ideas and more. My favorites are: “Ignore limits, find your inner child, and go with the flow.” After reading the creativity book, I felt instantly refreshed and not surprisingly, in the mindset to create something!
The books are now available on Amazon (where the average rating is a 4.9 out of five), so you can grab one for your Kindle. If you’re Kindle-less, download an e-book. If you’re like me and still love turning the good old-fashioned pages, grab a paperback. Once you get your hands on a Skinny On book, you’ll be hooked. Happy reading!
