New ESL Book! That’s right, you can kiss insanity goodbye, or at least those damn headaches.
Yep, Keeping Sane: English Teaching Strategies for ESL Teachers is now on sale on all the eBook retailers…or at least Amazon, Smashwords, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, and that’s about it.
I released this book a day or two ago and sent an email to my mailing list. A few people bought it at $0.99 and now you’ll have the chance to buy it at $3.99…which is the price of all my ESL eBooks except 3 (English Rocks, $9.99; Teaching English, $0.99; and Fun English, $2.99)
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s be completely honest – how many times have you thought about quitting?
Yeah, I know it’s only halfway through October, but I’m sure you’ve wondered many times by now ‘what the hell am I doing? What was I thinking? When will this end?’
Maybe you’re not, maybe you’re hunky-dory and everything is perfect. Great – then why the hell are you looking at this site? Don’t you have all the answers?
I sure don’t have them all, but I’ve got quite a few, and you’ll find them in this 97-page book. It’s broken down into three sections to make it easier for you – Theory, Practice, Implementation. Here’s what the Table of Contents looks like:

Conclusion
There’s a lot of stuff there, and some of those chapters are articles that’ve been up on my site. I’ve gotten some negative comments and reviews because of this, so I’ve taken a lot of that old content down, although you can still get many of the files for free. What’s more, I offer you a couple extra ESL PowerPoints free in this book.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking: shit, I ain’t paying no $3.99 for this stupid book!
That’s fine, don’t. Go spend 10 times that on cheap beer and even cheaper women. Go to the nearest McDonald’s and wallow in your own pity. Or buy some more cheap DVDs on the street so you can disappear to your room and forget about it all until the next class rolls around.
You won’t get any pity from me, and don’t think I’m making a lot of money off these books – I’m not. In fact, I think this’ll be the last ESL book I write for some time as I’m just kind of tired of it…and about plum out of ideas for now.
I guess you can say I’ve saved the best for last – strategies and philosophies, and stuff that will be helpful to some of you still struggling. This book is more advanced, with some ideas that some of you might not understand quite yet, but will benefit from later.
Mainly the book is trying to do what it says – allowing you to keep sane when teaching ESL. Check it out!
