Support Save the Children with Your “Scared Sitless” Pre-Order

September 22, 2014 by Larry

“Scared Sitless: The Office Fitness Book” is now available for pre-order at Amazon, shipping September 29 and priced at $5.99 for the Kindle version (print version coming in October).

I will donate $1.00 to Save the Children for each pre-order at Amazon, both regular sales and Kindle Unlimited customers who read at least 10% of the book.*

I would love to give at least $500 to Save the Children. If we break that goal, I’ll just make the thermometer taller πŸ™‚

Save the Children

Save the Children charity ratingSave the Children has helped 143 million children in 120 countries around the world. Their mission is to “give children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.” They have earned the highest possible rating from Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, the BBB, and similar rating organizations.

The sedentariness that is so troublesome for office workers is fast becoming a problem among children, as recess periods and physical education classes disappear and computer-game consoles replace outdoor play. I had hoped to find a suitable charity that specifically focuses on helping children become more active, but as I researched different charities, Save the Children kept coming up as the best general children’s health-promotion organization. I’m happy to support them.

About the Book

“Scared Sitless” sets out the current research on “sitting disease” and other surprising hazards of office work and gives you an evidence-based action plan to address them and improve your office fitness.

I hope you’ll pre-order your copy today. Thanks in advance for your support.



*The fine print: I’ll donate $1.00 for each sale that actually results in a royalty for me, no matter how small. The Kindle Unlimited program divvies up a pool of money each month, so I have no idea how much I might make for each sale; if it’s less than $1.00, I’ll happily make up the difference, up to $500.00 out of my own pocket. As soon as pre-sales are finalized, I’ll write the check to Save the Children.
