Took the advice with moving on to easier coins. Great advice. I flawlessly got a few people today that will be extremely valuable to have on our side. I realized a way to talk to co-workers about it without sounding like your pushing it on them. I do this by creating a situation where they bring it up first.

It’s a 40 minute boat ride home so I like to just read different libertarian or austrian books while waiting. They ask what i’m reading, and i tell them all about it. Two of the gentlemen I talked to asked if I could lend them a book. ..Though it could partially be do to their curiosity of how someone can get so passionately excited when talking about a book on economics. Either way it’s a start.

Basically always carry around a book, people are always curious about what others are reading, especially when they see it’s not Twilight. Makes for an easy way to more naturally flow into a political conversation.

That’s awesome. It’s quite an interesting situation where you’re commuting with people you know every day like that. That’s a very unique opportunity of a captive audience you have there. Great to see you’re able to take advantage of it.

The book thing is a classic strategy. Never gets old. (That’s one reason to be thankful for all the great LvMI covers ) Be sure to check the reading lists for suggestions on titles. (My work-in-progress of listing by difficulty is here)

especially when they see it’s not Twilight
