This week I am bringing back my popular author interview section of my blog. So I would like to introduce our guest this week; Dan Baron is a My Human Compassion (MHC) Baron experience;

What was the first book you remember loving? Do you still own it?

This is one of the best simple self-help books on the market. I am proud that my book also does a really good job of presenting self-help in any easy to understand manner

The Little Prince

Book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Published: 1943

Author: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I don’t own it because I sold or gave away all my belongings in April 2011 and haws what I own in one backpack I still live like that today

What kind of books do you like to read? Do those books have an effect on your own writing?

I love self-help books and those with a spiritual journey to truths enlightenment social activism and charity / making the works around us a better place through a blend of psychology spirituality philosophy science & metaphysics – where these intersect humanity is born.

I love courageous truthful real life stories! Malala is a great example of this / she is a true hero shot because she needs education survives and recently gave a compelling speech at the UN. I am a self-proclaimed humanitarian commuted to healing humanity.

Do you remember what is the first book that touched you deeply?

The little prince how he was able to travel all alone to the different planets and learn a new moral lesson on each planet. These types of books teach morality and how to live a well centered life.

Into the wild touches me deeply because I did a similar journey opening myself to the universe and travel – what touched me about the book is that he never got to write his own book and that the scene where he is looking at all the people in a bar laughing and with friends and he looked homeless & was rained on – the lead character was really smart graduating from Emory university in Atlanta and could have been one of those people in the bar with the suite on laughing and having a good time – he realized that he wasn’t able to get Back to that kind of living and how true happiness is time with others – he reflected on his choice to be free in the universe yet missed his old preset life. I wish he hadn’t died in the school bus in Alaska – I wish he could of written his own book.

Is there an era of writing that affects you? 1920, 1800’s so forth?

I feel that all areas of writing are good – all generations and tones bring a unique story to us. Each generation is a building Bligh to the next -each writing is like a puzzle peace it builds on top of the other

Where do you like to write? Is there a favorite nook or corner?

I like wherever there is a computer or voice recorder – it’s crucial to record the moment when important information cones in immediately or I will forget it

Do you prefer one genre to another?

I like adventure personal transformation and courage in overcoming adversity. I cheer for the underdog and hope they can find their dreams live their dreams & take actin on those dreams

Do you like the feel of a book in your hands or do prefer an electronic device?

I like both options. I like any book that had pages with meaning and keeps me interested

Can you tell us about what your working on now?

I am promoting my book and looking to do it with low cost methods such as promoting tweets promoting Facebook posts & optimizing my amazon page to be the best at others finding it and reviewing it.
