Advertisement for JES! Towards a joint effort society -> Early birds catch the worm...

Preliminary note

‘But surely, you do not read all the manuscripts and papers which people send you,’ Paul Feyerabend stated. He was Professor of Philosophy at Berkeley, and his Against Method still inspires. ‘You throw most of them into the waste basket. I most certainly do. That means that I make my selection in a highly individual and idiosyncratic way, partly because I can’t be bothered to read what doesn’t interest me  - and my interests change from week to week and day to day – partly because I am convinced that humanity and even science will profit from everyone doing his own thing.’

Feyerabend probably was right. However, a society is more than the sum of all individuals in a specific area. That’s what we have been writing about: a joint effort society as a solution to many problems and issues. Come on, Let’s Join Efforts!

Early Bird Award

JES! Towards a joint effort society is available as e-book. Published at Leanpub, Vancouver, Canada.

One reviewer stated: 'JES! is more of a manifest or at least a book filled with ideas how to shape society. Fascinating, ambitious and worth reading.'  

JES! is the English follow-up of Allemaal Winnen (Only Winners, regional sustainable development – ecolution)

The book applies and furthers the ecolution approach that contains a conceptual framework, toolbox and matrix for sustainable development.

The joint effort society is a new political engagement model.

Publish JES!

This hot summer month was perfect for completing JES! Towards a joint effort society. We found a publisher in Vancouver, Canada, that has the point of view of the self-producing individual (in line with our perspective) after some encounters with traditional publishers.

The vested bookmakers reacted in three different ways:

* 'I am bamboozled, I do not know into which 'list' this book fits';

* 'JES! is more of a manifest or at least a book filled with ideas how to shape society. Fascinating, ambitious and worth reading. I advise you to contact a publishing house that is very good at getting attention for new frameworks and concepts';

* 'No thank you'.  

Working with Leanpub meant we had to learn some computer language, called Markdown, but we did with their help. 

'JES! Towards a joint effort society' will be out tomorrow or the day after. In the meantime you can watch the sample and subscribe here.

One of the perqs Leanpub offers, is to publish early and publish often. This means a book can be shared before it is completely finished. Feedback from readers is appreciated! So, please, go to the JES! landing page and join us.

Another nice touch is that the author prices the book two leveled (minimum and suggested) and that the reader pays the amount he or she values it. 

The 100% happiness guarantee offers the reader a refund within 45 days should they feel the buy is a mistake.

JES! will be available on all e-reader devices and as a print on demand (the process is lightweight, innovative and sustainable), updates are encouraged and automatically sent to the readers. 

We at nonfiXe think this is the publishing mode of today and are very enthusiastic about it.

Now we have to find ways to tell you JES! is out there. This blog is a first try. We hope you will help spread the word. If you use twitter the suggested hashtag is #JES!
