In trying to escape the maze, he encounters dead ends no matter how hard he works. He yearns for a better life, filled with freedom and happiness. Earl desires more than the maze has to offer—a life where the cheese is plentiful and never out of reach. He believes he needs to get out of the maze, but how? In this delightful and compelling tale, you will follow Earl on his journey through the philosophies of the major players in the history of personal development. Learned mice Napoleon, Jim, Bob, Brian, Denis, and Price reveal to Earl how his mind looks and functions. They teach him how to master his own mind to design and create his own maze. He learns what cheese really is and why it is essential. Most importantly, Earl discovers who he really is and is joyfully astonished to learn the guiding principles that will revolutionize his life; he does not have to spend his days chasing cheese—he learns to make his own damn cheese! The powerful concepts in this gem of a book will put you on a path out of the mundane and allow you to fulfill your true and immense potential.

Book excerpt: Make Your Own Damn Cheese is an engaging read that feeds off of the success of Spencer Johnson's New York Times bestseller Who Moved My Cheese, and Deepak Malhotra's ensuing response and Wall Street Journal bestseller, I Moved Your Cheese. Much deeper and far more edifying than a collection of platitudes or lighthearted fable, Make Your Own Damn Cheese is the kind of read that people love--especially those who enjoyed the first two tales of mazes and mice who conquer their fears and learn to adapt. This new twist on the beloved fable adapts Chuback's personal advice and wisdom that is practical, directly applicable, highly motivational, and leads to personal awareness and real-world achievement. Make Your Own Damn Cheese is short, quick, and effective. Chuback makes indirect but obvious reference to the first two books and states a case for self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and self-determination. The seven main characters are fashioned after major players in the history of personal development: Earl Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, Jim Rohn, Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy, Dennis Waitley, and Price Pritchett. In this variation, a young mouse seeking happiness and freedom (Earl), is guided by an elderly mouse (Napoleon) who brings him deep into a maze to be taught by other learned mice (Jim, Brian, Bob, Price, and Dennis). There, he learns what cheese really is and why it is important, and he also learns that he is really a human being and not a mouse at all--he has the power of choice, free will, and decision-making. He is joyfully astonished to learn that he does not have to spend his life chasing cheese--he learns to make his own damn cheese!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lloyd Kaufman, the writer/producer/director of such cult-classic films as The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High, and Tromeo and Juliet, offers a guide to movie-making unlike any other available anywhere. In 25 years, Kaufman, along with partner Michael Herz, has built Troma Studios up from a company struggling to find its voice in a field crowded with competitors to its current--and legendary--status as a lone survivor, a bastion of true cinematic independence, and the world's greatest collection of camp on film. As entertaining and funny as it is informative and insightful, Make Your Own Damn Movie! places Kaufman's radically low-budget, independent-studio style of filmaking directly in the reader's hands. Thus we learn how to: develop and write a knock-out screenplay; raise funding; find locations and cast actors; hire a crew; obtain equipment, permits, and music rights (all for little or no money); make incredible special effects for $0.79 each; charm, schmooze, and network while on the film-festival circuit; and, finally, make a bad actor act so bad it's actually good. From scriptwriting and directing to financing and marketing, this book is brimming with utterly off-the-wall, decidedly maverick, yet consistently proven advice on how to fully develop one's idea for an independent film.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Negotiating the Impossible “tackles our assumptions about business and life with humor, zest, and wisdom in this delightful fable” (Daniel H. Pink, New York Times-bestselling author). If you were a mouse trapped in a maze and someone kept moving the cheese, what would you do? In a world where most mice dutifully accept their circumstances, ask no questions, and keep chasing the cheese, Deepak Malhotra tells an inspiring story about three unique and adventurous mice—Max, Big, and Zed—who refuse to accept their reality as given. I Moved Your Cheese reveals what is possible when we finally discard long-held and widely accepted assumptions about how we should live our lives. After all, achieving extraordinary success, personal or professional, has always depended on the ability to challenge assumptions, reshape the environment, and play by a different set of rules—our own. But rejecting deeply ingrained beliefs is not easy. As Zed explains, “You see, Max, the problem is not that the mouse is in the maze, but that the maze is in the mouse.” “Deepak Malhotra allows you to glimpse a world of your own making without the limits and barriers that others create.” —Stephen R. Covey, New York Times-bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People “A magnificent story with a powerful message. As someone who has encouraged scores of professionals into breaking through the maze and defining their own pursuits, I find this to be a gem of a book.” —Vinod Khosla, cofounder, former CEO and Chairman, Sun Microsystems, and founder, Khosla Ventures “This book’s message is both profound and durable. Malhotra has left the maze, and so can we.” —Foreword Reviews

Book excerpt: A scientific overview of the association of microbes with cheese, through the lens of select cheese varieties that result due to surface mold ripening, internal mold ripening, rind washing, cave aging, or surface smear rind development. Over the past decade, there has been explosive growth in the U.S. artisan cheese industry.

Many of the chapters in this book focus on aspects of that requisite knowledge. • Explains the process of transformation of milk to cheese and how sensory attributes of cheese are evaluated. • Provides an overview of cheese safety and regulations governing cheese making, both in the US and abroad, to ensure safety. • Explores how the tools of molecular biology provide new insights into the complexity of the microbial biodiversity of cheeses. • Examines the biodiversity of traditional cheeses as a result of traditional practices, and overviews research on the stability of the microbial consortium of select traditional cheese varieties. • Key text for cheese makers, scientists, students, and cheese enthusiasts who wish to expand their knowledge of cheeses and traditional foods.

Book excerpt: Everyone knows you can't build things in America anymore. Everyone, that is, except John D. Bassett III. While one corporation after another exported their manufacturing to high-volume factories in low-wage locations overseas, Bassett's traditional wood bedroom furniture manufacturing company has not only survived, but thrived, making premium products right here in America. When everyone else was rushing for the exits, Bassett bet on the talent, dedication, and uncompromising quality of American workmanship. And he won. In Making It in America, Bassett tells you the secrets that have made Vaughan-Bassett Furniture so successful doing what everyone said couldn't be done. Drawing on rich life experience, including the everyday challenges running a traditional manufacturing company, Bassett constructs a 12-point plan to achieve successful leadership in any business. These steps include: Have a winning attitude, respect your employees, don't panic, reinvest constantly, and make the best of the worst. Bassett's story is about how those values underpinned his personal success and how they can revitalize America itself. In the face of feckless leadership, crumbling infrastructure, and global competition, Bassett's story is a blueprint for how America can revitalize its role as leader of the free world and how your success can be part of it.
