"Black is the New White" by Paul Mooney

Over the past month or so, I've raved over this book. I've reached out to numerous people in hopes of sitting down with the Comedic Trailblazer, Paul Mooney (the epitome of "being yourself at all cost). Over the past 40 years, if it was classic comedy, Paul was more than likely one or two degrees in separation from that moment. From writing for Richard Pryor, to opening for Eddie Murphy during the groundbreaking "RAW" tour, to his role as "Negrodamus" on the Dave Chappelle Show, Paul was an architect of modern day comedy. Paul's contributions to comedy even helped to build the foundation for late night talk show hosts, David Letterman and Jay Leno.

If you are a history buff, or have followed any of the careers that I have just mentioned, you must read "Black is the New White". When you put this book down, you'll understand everything that has made Paul Mooney, as well as comedy, what it is today.

Book of the Day: The 48 Laws of Power

When I turned 25 years old, almost seven years ago, I came to a crossroad in my life, well I stumbled across that crossroad in my life. If you are younger than 25, don't worry, it will sneak up on you as well. My crossroad wasn't a negative one. I just had this feeling that I could do more with my life under the right guidance. That's when I was introduced to this book:














This became one of the most important "eye openers" in my young life. I had no clue that there were laws to everyday connections. I knew that there were people manipulating my life, I just didn't know how. I carry this book everywhere I went. And as I applied particular laws to my everyday life, wow, the results were bigger than I could have imagined. I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for ways to enhance their social skills on a friend, family and career level.
