HEADLINE: Unwitting Piracy Puts Companies at Risk

Editors note: Press Releases are just the facts, Jacks. We don't usually put out friendly advice, preferring instead to enjoy your blunders and outrages, but nobody will pick you up if your headline does not identify your company. The reporters will make up their own scintillating headlines.

BEST NEW TITLE

Out of PLYMOUTH, Mich. All your life you are conditioned to believe that your worth as a person is directly proportional to your material success. All your life you work hard for this purpose. All your life you believe it is the ultimate meaning of life. But one day, you wake up and realize you still feel empty despite your huge bank account, your fame, your power. There has got to be more to life than these. In Michael Kasenow's compelling new book, The Lost Generation, come face to face with society's misguided search for purpose and dignity in a world that sells transient desires, illusions, and addictions.
