Buddhist Childrens Books - New Project Announced

20 Dec 2008

Well I don’t normally share my side projects for three reasons:

They often are not part of my brand
Not everything comes out of testing phase
Competition

However, this time I am going to make an exception because the website I just finished fits nicely with my brand and is a subject that is near to me.

As I have stated before, I consider myself a Zen Buddhist and although I don’t push my religion or beliefs on others, I’ve had a problem trying to figure out how to approach my children about spirituality. My wife and I have slightly differing viewpoints, which is ok because I want my children to make up their own minds, but it poses a problem with regards to teaching different beliefs.

So I faced a problem trying to find good ways to open new spiritual doors for my children in a way that wouldn’t be too pushy or confusing. I spent a long time trying to find books for them that might do this and eventually it hit me – if I have this problem then surely there are others that face the same dilemma.

As a result, I opened a new webstore called Buddhist Childrens Books, which is a collection of some of my favorite kids books on the subject of Zen and Buddhism.

I know I know, this might not be your bag baby, and that’s ok. I simply wanted to show you how quickly you can turn a problem into a solution and make money in the process.
