Index of Essays from All Issues
of the 'WMail' ezine [2000-2007]
and from the DatelineChamesa.com weblog

this year's issues • • all essays listed by topic

Each issue of the free monthly WMail philosophy newsletter {ezine}
included excerpts from 'Working Minds: A Philosophy of Empowerment',
or new essays on Objectivism and Existentialism and similar matters, stimulating quotes, and
practical actions that anyone can take toward the Fulfillment of Mankind's Potential...

The DatelineChamesa.com weblog (blog) was started in 2005, and the WMail ezine
was discontinued with Issue #72 at the end of 2007. All new essays are posted first to the blog,
then posted in HTML on this website as another numbered WM Essay Page, and also listed below.
Same for separate blog postings of new quotations or 'news factoids'.

This page has been constructed to make the essays themselves available
to committed students of the Working Minds philosophy
– in numerical order & without the non-essay content of the older WMail ezine issues.
{Also, time-specific political subjects & all-quotes issues are omitted.]

Bulletin August 2017: Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing has announced a contest for English-language books newly-published on their website. The deadline is November 2017. The contest is open to authors residing in India, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States (excluding the territories of Quebec and Tasmania). The main prize is 10 lakh rupees (that's one million in India); today the volatile Indian rupee is trading at 64 to the U.S. dollar, so the prize converts to roughly US$16,000. Secondarily, the winner will be considered for book publication in India. Well, there is only one winner, out of thousands or millions of applicants, but the idea got me thinking. I already have two books available in Kindle format, so what might I create as a potential entry? What I came up with is a collection of these Working Minds Philosophy essays, which I could call "Working Minds: The First 100 Essays". I could convert the essays, make a cover, tweak this and that, many hours of work, but do-able by, say, October. If completed by deadline, I could enter the contest. But is it worth it? That is where you, the reader, comes in. Will you buy such a book? (Probably priced at eight to ten dollars.) I am posting this survey here, on my blog, on my Facebook page, and on my LinkedIn page. Click on this email link to vote 'yes' (you can add a comment). I will report the results at the same four places. G.E. Nordell author • philosopher • revolutionary Rio Communities, New Mexico USA
