Recently I blogged on being reliable as part of a series on How to Be Taken Seriously.  I can’t stress this principle enough.

Book #12 of 52 The Connection: Link Your Deepest Passion, Purpose, and Actions to Make a Difference in the World written by Anthony Silard was a book I found in the Self-Help section of Barnes & Noble that looked interesting.
