Big sales ranking means very many similarly classified books of others have sold more copies

 My books are for sale at the www.amazon.com internet bookshop, and most of them one can find via my author page www.amazon.com/author/khtervola . At individual book's info there quite often is a sales ranking. That means if the book were on the most sold books' list, how many different books the list should have for my book to be the lowest, i.e. least sold on that list. The listings somehow take into account for how long the book has been for sale. Mostly my books haven't sold any copies, except me myself having bought one or two of some of them. Yet the subjects are often interesting (and my quality as a thinker good), so some might guess them having sold thousands of copies, even tens of thousands. Such is the feeling when writing my blogs, as if some really would like the blogs and the new posts, and the free versions of my books. But somehow that does not seem to lead to any books sold. 

At least in Finnish the names with the word "terve" as somehow a part of the name, interest many who would like to get healed or learn healing skills and stay fully healthy. So maybe such creates an impression of fame even if the name isn't the same and isn't the point, and even though such person's versions of these skills often differ a lot, but anyway the subject seems worth a glance for quite many.

15th of June 2024   If the sales ranking as a number seems to relate to your view of how many would maybe have liked to read the book or at least glance it through, maybe that impression of a number is how many would have liked tl borrow it from a library or as an ebook from an elibrary, and only a much much smaller number would have liked to have such a book on their own book shelf in the long run.

13th of October 2024   I found one book of mine being high in some ranking: #82 in "Business of Art Reference" my book "Traditional skills have a place in the modern world", see https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DF5D39QL , I guess because in it was told of the piece of news from Mikkeli that lots of things had been stolen from some house, and there was an explanation guess of it plus such handiwork good side skill/skills taught / described. 

Now later today

My birthday and my childhood name

My birthday is 8. of August. As numbers 8.8. it brings to my ming four round circle like things of which two pairs are more closely connected. The healthy round forms bring to my mind symbiosis and a model of the world. So it is like one form of my paradise theory. I have not noticed it having influenced my thinking, except that I have come to notice the possibility of such a model and on the other hand my childhood environment maybe saw such a view as part of what I might be like because of my birthday. Late summer is also a time of warmth at the same time with the need to defend the good things summer brings, the loves in one's life from the coming autumn and winter. So that too may have affected my view on what is the task of thinking, theory and work. * * * (7. March 2016 As a child I had the last name Hari, so my name Kaisa Hari bought the associations "keisari" = emperor and "tsaari" = Russian tsar (emperor). So I took it to my task to cultivate some...

Each one has a different view of skills etc

 Some day last week I on some mental side talked momentarily with someone who had read my book A Sorcerer, and it was as if she knew it well, but even though she appeared inclined toward rational style life, she did not seem interested in the skills taught in the book, so her version of such was very far from mine. Yet my experience is that many social relations oriented people refer to the more rationally oriented in getting a kind of schooled view, so even those go much further from the original. And these are who are claimed to be of roughly the same type and same skills as the writer, while others left more far away in views, which seems that either they caught nothing of the communication or then there was some similarity, for example a hobby like interest in the subjects shared with the writer, which brought the clmmunication. So even though one can tell of skills, for example to look detailedly at some points, the level of actually living one's life is very different. It doe...

Maybe my most liked texts

 When I was in my twenties, there seemdd to be something much liked wisdom of life which I could write about and so make it possible in the world. I guess that the major good mood came from free time hobbies according to feelings being good for work and studies. But as texts it is quite outrageous, see workandfreetime.blogspot.com . To such a subject connects also the beneficality of moral, see 2013paradise.blogspot.com . And so there is also the blog about feelings, rationality and moral for computers, see feelingcomputers.blogspot.com . Later my most liked texts have included Living with the four seasons https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html , advices about changing to one's dream job nopeaoppisuus.blogspot.com , the thinking course quickerlearning.blogspot.com and healing advices curingguesses.blogspot.com and the Finnish original parantamisesta.blogspot.com , and lately my long long text about the skills of Christmas gnomes learntalents.blo...
