This quirky collection of poems, penned and painted by the creative Dr. D.W. Knight, is like a playground for the imagination. Picture a book brimming with rhymes that twist and turn, packed with punchlines that’ll have you giggling, and characters so zany they could dance right off the page.
Dr. Knight doesn’t just play with words, he juggles them. Take the poem “ROLLER COASTER,” where you’re swooping and shifting through clouds, a wild ride stitched with screams and dreams of being a star. It’s not just fun, it’s a whirlwind of emotions. Then there’s “MESSY ROOM,” which captures a disaster zone of a bedroom so perfectly that you can almost smell the old socks and pizza crusts. Knight’s ability to craft a visual feast with his words is simply genius.
And oh, the cheeky charm of “THE RING”! This poem had me snorting tea through my nose. When the girl dreams of a diamond ring but gets a phone call instead feels like classic humor. It’s this clever wordplay that makes Tongue Teasers a treasure trove of laughs. Plus, the illustrations are the cherry on top, adding just the right flavor of fun to the mix.
Knight’s knack for weaving life lessons into laughter is what truly makes these poems sparkle. “THE SUN,” with its lonely feast set by the setting sun, subtly teaches about solitude and resilience. Each poem is a little life lesson wrapped in witty verse, making you nod thoughtfully one minute and chuckle the next.

Dragon Queen: A Guide
Dragon Queen: A Guide is a motivational book written for women to help them connect with their inner strength, or as the author puts it, their “inner dragon.” The book is structured as a guide to embodying different qualities like dignity, bravery and self-love. It encourages readers to embrace their power, face challenges with courage, and recognize their worth. Through metaphor and encouragement, it aims to uplift and empower women in all areas of their lives, reminding them that they are powerful, deserving and unstoppable.
The writing is informal and is almost like having a heart-to-heart conversation with a friend. It is full of energy, and Christine Downs’s enthusiasm for her message is clear from the start. The dragon metaphor, while imaginative, might feel a bit heavy-handed at times but it adds a fun twist to the usual self-help narrative. I appreciated how she constantly reminds the reader that life’s challenges, no matter how difficult, can be met with dignity. The repeated invocation to “feed your dragon” as a metaphor for self-care is a nice touch.
One of the best parts of the book is its relentless focus on self-love. Downs frames it as the foundation for everything—without self-love, she writes, your “dragon has no flame.” This resonates strongly, and I think it’s a message many women need to hear more often. It’s not about arrogance but about creating a life rooted in confidence and self-worth. The section on being “Aware” is especially poignant, where Downs emphasizes the importance of checking in with yourself, understanding your feelings, and honoring them without judgment. She writes with a lot of empathy, which makes her advice feel personal and real.
The chapter titled “Qualified” stood out for its no-nonsense take on preparedness. Downs points out that being a “Dragon Queen” also means doing hard work and showing up consistently, which adds a grounded layer to the more abstract advice.
Dragon Queen would be a fantastic read for women who are fans of empowering, metaphor-rich narratives that encourage inner growth. It’s especially great for those who need a boost in confidence or a reminder of their worth. While it’s not the most nuanced guide out there, the energy and positivity it radiates are undeniable. If you enjoy self-help with a sprinkle of fantasy flair, this book will speak to your inner queen.

The Business Artist: A Human Approach to Sales, Storytelling, and Creativity in a Data-Driven World
Adam Boggs’ latest book confidently asserts his place as not just a business thinker but an artist in his own right. From the opening pages, Boggs establishes that true success in business transcends rigid structures and data-driven decision-making. Instead, it flourishes through creativity, intuition, and human connection—qualities he passionately champions as the foundation of what he calls the “business artist.”
In a compelling critique of modern corporate culture, Boggs argues that an over-reliance on metrics and efficiency stifles originality, reducing businesses to mere imitators—“cover bands,” as he puts it—rather than innovators. His observations are particularly poignant when discussing significant players like Apple at a time when many companies fall into the trap of endlessly replicating past triumphs instead of nurturing fresh ideas.
Drawing heavily from the realms of music, jazz, and technology, Boggs shows how the most successful businesses, like the finest artists, create something both distinctive and emotionally resonant. The core message is simple but profound; just as jazz musicians improvise while maintaining a central theme, businesses must innovate and adapt while staying rooted in their foundational values. His reference to Miles Davis and the groundbreaking Kind of Blue album perfectly illustrates this point—true innovation doesn’t follow a formula. Boggs’ arguments are both intellectually rigorous and deeply reflective. For instance, his critique of methods like The Challenger Sale prompts the reader to rethink traditional sales strategies at a fundamental level.
The Business Artist excels in its philosophical depth, challenging readers to move beyond superficial analysis and engage with the underlying principles that drive success. Boggs’ boldness stands out. He’s unafraid to say what many might think but hesitate to voice, such as the limitations of platforms like Amazon and Spotify, which, while efficient, can create echo chambers that hinder curiosity and innovation. Despite his critiques, Boggs remains objective, offering balanced perspectives. He doesn’t merely argue against established norms. Instead, he dissects them thoroughly, providing insights into the benefits and drawbacks alike. This thoughtful exploration sets The Business Artist apart from other business books as it delves into the delicate balance between creativity and practicality in today’s data-obsessed world.
Boggs set out to write a book about business, but what he delivers is much more. The Business Artist is an insightful and thought-provoking manifesto on infusing passion, creativity, and humanity into the professional sphere. The book combines vivid metaphors with real-world examples and a sharp critique of contemporary business practices. By the end, readers are encouraged to step outside conventional lines and reconnect with the human spirit that fuels every meaningful endeavor.
