To celebrate the release of THE POPULARITY RULES, I’m giving away 2 copies over on facebook. Just become a fan, leave a comment, and a shiny new book could be yours! Heat magazine called it “funny and true-to-life” (4 stars) and Closer said it’s “a brilliantly written story, full of humour, heartbreak and attitude”. It’s also this month’s must-read pick in Glamour, so drop by and find out for yourself.
I remember in middle school and high school there was the constant complaint by some students that elections for school government was just a “popularity contest.” I think the theory was that people were voting not on who they thought would do the best job but who was most popular in school. The more I learn about and work in government the more I realize that this statement is true about all elections. Campaigning has so little to do with rules of governing and so much more to do with rules of popularity.
