As a teenager, Eleanor Rowe read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People and was irrevocably bitten by the self-improvement bug. In order to write Waiting Games: How to Get Rich, Powerful, Sexy & Healthy While You're Killing Time (published by Facts on File), Eleanor drew upon 20 years of self-improvement from Aikido and belly-dancing to Yoga and Zen. Eleanor holds a Ph.D. from New York University. She has taught at N.Y.U. and Hunter College in New York City and The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. She is a veteran of TV and radio interviews, from the Sonya Show and the CBS Morning News to Our Cultural Heritage and Panorama. Her publications include Hamlet: A Window on Russia and articles in Cosmopolitan and Reader's Digest. For many years, Eleanor has studied systems of mental, physical, and spiritual development. In this revised, second edition of her book Waiting Games, she offers dozens of delightful ways to achieve radiant success while you wait. About the illustrator: Jack Ziegler, highly acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist, is the author of many popular books, including You Had Me at Bow Wow, How's the Squid? and Olive or Twist?
