Short biography
Karen Salmansohn is a career columnist in the popular – hell, omnipresent –AM-NY Newspaper, offering her extreme business success tips under the heading of “1-MINUTE CAREER THERAPIST.” Always blunt, never boring, Karen provides easy to digest techniques that incorporate unusual epiphany-inspiring metaphors and her trademark memorable edgy humor.

Karen’s been written up nationally and internationally for her best-selling feisty, empowering books, inspiring numerous journalists to call her “Deepak Chopra meets Carrie Bradshaw.” Another comparison often heard: “What Jon Stewart does for the news…making news funny and entertaining …Karen Salmansohn does for the self help book industry…adding her edgy humor and entertaining graphics, adding some needed improvement to the usually corny/dry voice of self improvement.”

Interestingly enough, Jon Stewart himself has even gone on record as loving Karen’s writing, saying specifically that “Salmansohn has the soul of a stand up comic.” Not your usual description of a self help book author, eh?

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Karen Salmansohn is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some miscreant, whose high-spirited japery will land him in no end of trouble, keeps combining them!

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the miscreant and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
