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...

A video: "Rescued lion with a turtle nest on it's back"

 A video: "Rescued lion with a turtle nest on it's back" I have written a lot. Thoughts are the task of the one thinking, instead of only the task of some forefigure or original thinker in the subject. Thoughts are not that much collective. You must build your own picture of the world yourself, I cannot command what to think. I feel that I have stayed in this subject so long that many others just refuse to think, as if it were my task to carry them. One should try to notice when one is under the lowest level ok for living beings or the like, and not suppose such laziness in thinking to be ok.  In my twenties Practised aikido in the aikido association of the University of Helsinki. I also looked if I could find a boyfriend and a spouce. Axter I had interrupted my studies in the university, I after two years went to a year long course in a Swedish speaking farming school quite near the capital district. After that it was not so easy to continye aikudo. Once I went to anothe...
