games PR-ing. music lover. bookworm. blogger. social media fanatic. cinephile. polyglot. fashion admirer. So, I will mostly blog about relevant PR related topics and probably (too much) about my love for coffee.

In 1936, at the zenith of the Great Depression, the prolific self-help guru and famous eccentric </span><strong>James T. Mangan</strong><span>published </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/You-Can-Anything-James-Mangan/dp/B002AK0U4E/?tag=braipick-20" target="_blank"><strong><em>You Can Do Anything!</em></strong></a><span> (</span><a href="http://www.worldcat.org/title/you-can-do-anything/oclc/1830863&referer=brief_results" target="_blank"><em>public library</em></a><span>) — an enthusiastic and exclamation-heavy pep-manual for the art of living. Though Mangan was a positively kooky character — in 1948, he publicly claimed to own outer space and went on to found the micronation of Celestia — the book isn’t without merit.</span></p> <p><span>Among its highlights is a section titled </span><strong><em>14 Ways to Acquire Knowledge</em></strong><span> — a blueprint to intellectual growth, advocating for such previously discussed essentials as the importance of taking example from </span><a href="http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/02/05/9-rules-for-success-by-amelia-barr/">those who have
