Only 2 Days Left To Revise My Book Before I Submit

www.ourmepower.com

My upcoming book is titled…

Me Power.

Team no subtitle won! I did not want to be confined by a subtitle.

The title of my first book, Me Power, is meant to be bold. It's meant to frame a different way of thinking about empowerment.

Dr. James A. Godley, Dartmouth University Postdoctoral Fellow, describes Me Power as “anti-self-help.” He explains:

You're not offering neat little gimmicks to "fix" people. In fact, your whole argument is so strongly in the direction of NOT fixing people. In this, Me Power is not a manual for people to fix their lives. It's a guide to changing one's perspective on why what others call "broken" or in need of fixing is actually a really precious potential and part of one's self. So when I say anti-self-help of course I mean REAL self-help, which is a way of thinking that comes directly from the best thinkers.

I'm racing the clock to finish all structural edits and layout by the deadline in two days. If you’ve never watched the “Final Countdown” video, you’re in for a treat.

⚡️ Life Ends Gradually and Changes You. What’s your LEGACY?

This quote from Maya Angelou.
You have no idea what your legacy will be. 
Your legacy is what you do every day. 
Your legacy is every life you’ve touched, 
every person whose life was either moved or not. 
It’s every person you’ve harmed or helped. 
That’s your legacy.

Dr. Godley’s description/definition is fantastic.

Congratulations on getting to the finish line! That’s gotta feel great.
