Last week, I
received the new book co-written by author and life coach Dan Miller and his son, Jarad
Angaza entitled- Wisdom Meets
Passion: When Generations Collide and Collaborate.
Dan Miller
is the best-selling author of No More
Dreaded Monday’s and 48 Days to the Work You Love. Dan Miller
has two websites offering community assistance, classes and podcasts
at 48days.com and 48days.net.
Jarad Angaza is the president and
co-founder of KEZA, an ethical fashion label in East
Africa.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.
I removed
the autographed book from the envelope and the bright cover artwork immediately attracts
your attention. As I opened the book, I noticed a couple more “little
surprises.” Inside the front cover was a post card size promo photo of Dan and
Jarad and a “Wisdom meets Passion” book
marker (featuring additional dowloadable files). The added gifts show the genuine
appreciation of the authors for the purchase through indigogo.com. 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,
