INVICTUS: Community Room College Newsletter
Vol I No 1  June 8, 2010
"The human race will prosper mightily in the years ahead—because ideas are having sex with each other as never before."  Matt Ridley, author of  The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves.  From an article based on the book (which I've just ordered, I was so impressed with the article, it will be a future featured book with 3 tips) in the Wall Street Journal (click here for article.) 
Today's Featured Book:  Art Linkletter's How to Make the Rest of Your Life the Best of Your Life.
You may have noticed in the new that Art Linkletter passed away last week (click here for obit.)

Linkletter was 97 when he passed on a few days ago, after living a full active life to the very end. For the last 3 years he's been on a national book tour for this book he wrote when he was 94, telling us how he did it. It's a great book, I highly recommend it.
Here are three tips from the book to use now:
1.  Don't stop living and learning.
2.  The only thing you should re-tire is your car. Retirement kills!
3.  It's part of our collective wisdom-- along with eating your vegetables and getting a good night's sleep-- that keeping a positive attitude is good for our health.
The new Community Room College is helping people start Franklin Circles or similar adult self-directed learning groups in their neighborhood. A free meeting, a sample of the Franklin Circle meeting format, is held each Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. right after the Denver IDEA Cafe. For more see http://www.CommunityRoomCollege.com
 
The Denver IDEA Cafe is a free, open startup workshop held each Friday from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Speakers are invited to share how they started their career, a project or campaign, or a new business, and we brainstorm. The only cost is your brain for the brainstorming. Speakers are announced each week on Wednesday or Thursday on http://meetup.com/Denver-IDEA-Cafe, you can RSVP now to make sure you get a seat.
My free podcast How to Find a Good Job Fast: You can listen to it via the link on www.JohnWren.com.  Please forward this email along to any of your friends who you know are looking for a new job. They will thank you, and so will I if you'll let me know what you've done.
How may I be of service to you?
