Special Prize
I purchased the book with a pledge on a special offer through indigogo.com. The book arrived quickly and the shipping envelope had a label with a special instructions to call a specific phone number “before doing anything else.”
The package
was like a box of Cracker Jacks. What would I hear or receive from calling the
phone number? What would I discover inside the package? Like a child, my mind began to wonder.
Upon calling
the number, I received a (fittingly) 48-second
message from author Dan Miller thanking me for participating in the project along
with an encouraging message. I’ve never seen anyone else offer this nice little
gesture in regards towards anything I’ve ever purchased.
Inside the
package was the UBUNTU medallion necklace designed by Jarad Angaza and Hannah
Woodard at KEZA. Nepali refugees through Hope Rise (a Nashville, Tennessee
based charity) assembled the necklaces. Hope Rise assists the Nepali refugees
with integration into Nashville, Tennessee. Each of the beautiful medallions
sold allows the refugees income and dignity.
Added Stuff
Separate from the book, folks who joined the 48days.net group, Wisdom meets Passion- were able to download a couple of free eBooks, to go along with the hard cover version of the book. It’s safe to say Dan and his son, Jarad understand the power of added value to a customer. Thank you Dan and Jarad!
The Review
Once I started to read this extra-ordinary book, it was difficult to put down. Of all the books I’ve read this year it is easily my favorite- hands down.
The wisdom and
passion of Dan and Jared is immense throughout every chapter. The motivation
and hope gained through reading Wisdom
Meets Passion: When Generations Collide and Collaborate is inspiring,
gratifying and immeasurable.
Dan’s view
of wisdom and passion is traditionally based ideology, so the older folks (like
me) can easily relate too. While Jared’s view is on the edge, off the cuff and
raw, perhaps relating better with a younger audience or a different cultural
mindset.
Together,
their views present quite different ways to arrive at a similar path for
success. Separately, Dan and Jarad’s methods stand on their own merits and
remind us that not everything is accomplished the same way, while breaking down-
what really matters in life.
I have
waited several years for a new book from Dan Miller and I can honestly say this
is his best work yet! The message is joyful and resonates with words of wisdom
and passion. This is a book I will repeatedly read and study.
Wisdom Meets Passion: When
Generations Collide and Collaborate is the book you
must read if you’re serious about changing your life or the world you
live in.
I highly recommend it!
Until
We Meet Again,

Wow - thanks so much for that review of the book and the additional components of the purchasing process. We certainly wanted to make it a unique buying experience and we are thrilled with the feedback we're getting. Time will tell if the book will stand on its own merit but early reviews like yours are indicating we are on the right track. Thanks again for your comments.

Dan,
ReplyDeleteI apologize for forgetting to mention the book and packing slip were autographed and the book marker contains additional downloadable information. I have updated the review to reflect the missed information.
Thank you for your kind words. You may recognize the photo on the header of my blog. It is what is left of the old Westinghouse factory in downtown Mansfield, Ohio.
Due to lack of vacation time and my wife being laid-off I have to forgo your Coaching for Excellence class next week. I will order the online class and plan on attending next spring at the Sanctuary.
Who knows, maybe I will run into you in Amish country this fall or give me a shout if you’re nearby and perhaps we can meet you, chat or interview, if you have the time.
I thank you and your son, Jarad for the inspirational book and extra valuable information.
Sincerely,
Jim Carver
