From John Perkins, author of "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" and "Hoodwinked"

Dal LaMagna's story is not only eloquent and insightful; it is also an enlightening expose on how to bounce back from failure and succeed in a failed economic climate.

A college professor once told a class I was in: "The only difference between a person who ultimately fails and one who succeeds is that the latter has failed one more time and tried again."

"Raising Eyebrows" is a magnificent testament to this philosophy.

This is an easy to read, often funny book that, like stories told by the Buddha, carries a great deal of sage advice.

This was so much fun, I

This was so much fun, I couldn't put it down. Anyone who names himself and his business "TWEEZERMAN" has to be fearless and RAISING EYEBROWS proves Dal LaMagna is that and much more. It's not fair to think of this merely as a business and self-improvement book, no matter how booksellers may label it. It's a truly inspiring story of self-examination and a discovery of human nature and how we can work and live more happily and productively as a society. And LaMagna’s funny and surprising stories are more entertaining than a whole season of THE WEST WING or MAD MEN, though they might well conjure up images of both.

I can't think of anyone who has faced failure with such fortitude and made it a learning experience, over and over. He polished the rough stone that he was handed, over and over, until it became a shining gem. The stories of the adventure en route to stunning success are hilarious and constantly entertaining, but that doesn’t distract from the remarkably candid and often humble insights he offers about life and business.

Dal has managed to gain extraordinary insight into himself - and by extension, into all of us - with keen personal and universal perception that Woody Allen might have hoped for from decades of expensive psychoanalysis. At least as funny as Woody, Tweezerman did it by himself, looking at his strengths and weaknesses without flinching and being willing to learn from what he saw.

RAISING EYEBROWS makes me wish we had people in elected office who were as unabashedly honest and caring as Tweezerman, and who could admit and learn from even the most embarrassing mistakes. Then they might make the country today as functional and successful for its citizens as LaMagna made his company for himself - and all those who worked with him.

Dal LaMagna is one of the

Dal LaMagna is one of the funniest, most original people I've ever met. He puts his money, passion and creativity to work for what he believes in. I say that with particular appreciation because he was the first person ever to invest in me. Dal is a born storyteller who has good material to work with. This book is guaranteed to make you laugh--and think about how you are living your life. -- Nina Rothschild Utne, Co-Founder Utne Reader, Founder Future Fit

Dal’s improbable success

Dal’s improbable success after many failures is a lesson for all of us not only about business but about life. Dal tells his story in a delightfully humorous “no holds barred way” and shares what he has learned about creating a business that benefits society as a whole. This is a really good read. Dal rocks. -- Ben Cohen, Co-founder of Ben and Jerry’s

“In Raising Eyebrows Dal

“In Raising Eyebrows Dal LaMagna tells his story with startling, sometimes sensual, candor about how he learned from his business and personal failures to develop that combination of resiliency, curiosity and necessary entrepreneurial discipline to build a success company, sell it at the top, and open up many other new initiatives –from striving to end the war in Iraq to other innovative enterprises. “This is probably the fastest non-fiction book you have read in a long time if you want to absorb a very different way of encouraging those who are faltering to turn themselves around and prevail. “Raising Eyebrows is a delightful, insightful read for just about anybody interested in the indomitable human spirit that keeps growing to fulfill life’s possibilities.” -- Ralph Nader, Leading Consumer Advocate

Raising Eyebrows is the story

Raising Eyebrows is the story of an indefatigable entrepreneur and adventurer who meets life's failures with an unrelenting forcefulness to always forge forward.  Dal's book is a life lesson in innovative life engagement and the power of unbending will. -- Juleanna Glover, Republican Strategist, Founding Principal at The Ashcroft Group LLC
