Almost Inspirational (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781087891309)

From the creators of almost.inspirational and some of the #yougetit movement comes their first book.

Wise people used to have pithy sayings that would give them insight or inspiration to keep going in life. One of those sayings says, "If you give a man a fish they would come to you for a fish every day, but if you teach them how to fish they would be able to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives." (Not a direct quote) We couldn't agree more. We have realized that inspirational quotes are the equivalent of just handing people fish. They will always come back for more, thus never really inspiring them to do anything. We came to the conclusion that inspiration must evolve, we can't keep trying to do it like we have for the last few centuries, we must begin to think entirely differently about inspirational quotes. So we asked ourselves, "What could inspire average people? Is it even possible to truly inspire?" We decided after months of conversational research with each other that the best way to go about this was to craft quotes specifically meant to almost inspire people. Thus making the average person have to work for inspiration. We didn't want to just spoon feed people inspiration or just "hand them a fish" if you will, after all where has that gotten us? This book is meant to give you almost a half year's worth of quotes that don't inspire you, but they almost inspire you. But the beauty of this book is that somehow you begin to root for the quotes' significance. You find yourself beginning to try to inspire the quote to become inspirational, hence teaching you how to inspire yourself without you even knowing it. Some call it reverse psychology, we just call it helping others. We have strategically developed this book to get you on the path to becoming inspirational yourself and not just relying on an outside source to inspire you all the time. This book causes you to work for inspiration before you even know you are working for inspiration. Not only that, but at the end of this book you will see multiple blank pages where you can begin to write your own quotes. What better way to become inspirational than writing down your own great inspirational thoughts. So be sure to put this book in a place where you sit and think for a little while without a distraction. The only thing that we ask of you is that after you finish this book, you pass it on to someone else that needs to stop reading inspirational quotes and actually become an inspirational person. After all, someone looked at your inspirational deficiency and believed that you could start inspiring yourself. Instead of handing you a fish your whole life, they believe you could become a fisherman of your own inspiration.
