(If you haven’t checked out Kidney Raffle yet, you might want to quickly pop over and browse the awesome prize bundles here and here, and read more about the great cause and why we’re doing this, before you spread the word… we’ll wait here for you!)

Your help with spreading the word on Facebook and Twitter is incredibly valuable to us, so we want to thank you (and keep you inspired!) with a selection of inspirational author interviews from Cath Duncan’s Bottom-line Bookclub.

Here’s what you need to do – it’s easy!

1. Click on the “Share to Get” button below.
2. You’ll be asked to share about kidneyraffle.com on Facebook and Twitter.
3. After you’ve shared on Facebook and Twitter, you’ll be automatically redirected to the page with the downloads of the author interviews.

The following author interviews are included in our thank you gift, ready for you to download after you share:

Over 12 hours of teaching from these 12 authors/ experts, helping your to get “the bottom-line” on these great books and to use the ideas in them.

Here’s what I’m doing: I’m making it possible for you to get access to all 13 of the Bottom-line programs in the archives for a once-off payment.

Here are some of the books I’ve bottom-lined so far:

You can find a complete list of the books in the Bottom-line Archive here.

Each of the bottom-line programs in the archives includes:

• A pdf manual and 45min audio bottom-line explaining the best 3 ideas in the featured book.
• A pdf workbook to help you to take action and use the ideas in the book.
• A 60min interview with the author or a relevant expert to further deepen your learning and inspire you.

So what’s it cost for access to all this goodness?

You can still purchase the individual Bottom-lines for $24 each, but if you’d like unlimited access to all 13 of the Bottom-lines, you can have life-time access for a one-off payment of just $99.

This offer stands until I make up my mind about the future membership of the club (which is contingent on the other stuff I’m exploring… I know, I’m being vague, but I’m not ready to share till I have more of it pinned down). So if you’d like lifetime archival access for a steal, now’s the time to jump onboard.

Happy learning and growing this year, and thank you for all of your support over the past few years!

P.S. Bottom-line Bookclub Members – regardless of what I decide to do with the future membership of the club, you still have access to all the archives at no extra cost, and always will. Just login as usual, download and enjoy!

So when I found Toddʼs book called “Curious?” I was naturally immediately curious (of course!) to read it and hear what the psychological research is telling us about the value of curiosity. I also had the good fortune of watching Todd live earlier this year, giving a TED-style presentation about the value of curiosity and so much of what he said really resonated with Agile Living, so I was thrilled when he agreed to be interviewed for the Bottom-line Bookclub.

In the Bottom-line on Curious? you’ll learn:

• 8 Little-known benefits of curiosity in your life and work.
• Why you’ll be happier and create a richer, more meaningful life if you pursue curiosity instead of happiness.
• The greatest thing that stands in the way of your curiosity – and why you don’t need to beat it.
• 7 Practical things you can do to cultivate greater curiosity in your own thinking.
• 5 Practical things you can do to encourage greater curiosity amongst the people you live and work with.

When you buy the Bottom-line on Curious? you’ll get:

• A 45min audio Bottom-line lecture, highlighting and explaining the best ideas and change tools from Dr Todd Kashdan’s book, Curious?
• A pdf manual including a transcript of the Bottom-line lecture so you can get a quick, easily accessible visual overview of the Bottom-line.
• A pdf Coaching Workbook with powerful coaching exercises to guide you (and your clients if you’re a coach) to apply these high-leverage ideas and get the results you want.
• A 45min audio recording of my interview with the author, Dr Todd Kashdan.
