Someone took my book title!!

Ah, shux! On whim, I decided to search my blog (and future book) title up on Google and was totally shocked that someone by the name of Walter Lubeck has already written my book “The Tao of Money!” I can’t believe it! Well that save’s me alot of work then! The full title of the book is “The Tao of Money: The Spiritual Approach to Money, Occupation and Possessions as a Means of Personal and Social Transformation.” Well, knock me out with a feather, Walt, you really couldn’t have ripped off my idea more!  Yeah, so its not the most original title in the world. But it reflects oh so well what I was hoping to communicate. Oh, whoops, it says its copyrighted material. Shoot, does that mean I have to change the title of my blog? Hmmm…”The Yoga of Money;” “The Tao of Currency?” Any ideas folks?In the first few pages of his book he covers some of what I envisioned my book to be about, but only half of it. For the most part he sticks to the self-help and philosophical side of the coin. He doesn’t go into the historical or structural part of it so much.  Maybe I can write a book called “The Tao of Money: the better, upgraded, and better-written version to Walter Lubeck’s book.” Walter, no offense, but your time as the holder of “the Tao of Money” title is over! Stay tuned for more on my responses to my book by another author. (-:If you want to browse the book it can be viewed at http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0914955624/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-9321892-1039949#reader-link Ok, after a second look there is one other book with this title.  So this is totally cliche title.  I’ll find a better one.

    The Dao (Tao) and De (Te) of Money :)

    Everyone focuses on the Dao (道) but it’s the Daodejing (道德經). Or perhaps you could write “The De of Money” seeing as how you feel he only hits 50% of it. You could write something that, as you already suggested… sort of, compliments his book. ;)
