UNIQUE ONE-STOP, ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR MOTIVATION IN WORK AND LIFE — New social media-made book provides accessible, empowering messages for overcoming personal trials and reaching dreams One in ten U.S. adults report being affected by depression. Facing his own personal struggles with depression, a negative mindset, divorce, among other things a few years ago, Joshua Coburn decided to create and post positive affirmations on his social media sites. As friends and fans from his previous projects in music, books, and tattooing began to take notice and utilize these quotes, they ultimately requested he create a book for them to keep close and reference as needed. Since the concept of a book filled with these affirmations was suggested to Coburn by others, he realized the project was as much about their want to see the development of a book as it was for his need to reinforce positivity in his personal life. In order to fulfill all the wants and needs involved, Coburn planned the #ihelpedchangealife project. #ihelpedchangealife would allow these social media users to become a part of the creation and final outcome of a book they chose to title, Inspiration on Demand. Within the social media platforms, friends, followers and fans of Coburn s would vote on the title, dimensions, cover style, and all other aspects of the book s creation. Through Kickstarter.com, Inspiration on Demand was also funded by this movement. Inspiration on Demand and the quotes within are no longer mine, says Coburn. They are of the people, and for the people who believed in the #ihelpedchangealife project and believe in positive change in all our lives. Motivating and empowering readers to improve their daily lives, overcome personal trials and reach their dreams, Coburn, a self-proclaimed corporate oddity, shares quotes in Inspiration on Demand such as: -Knowing your personal limits is as important as pushing them. -Anger is an emotional prison, the keys to unlock the doors lie in the pursuit of happiness. -If there is not a path to follow we shall create our own. -Today is the best tomorrow that yesterday could have ever offered. -By days end, be sure you can look back and know you made the best of it. I believe in going against the status quo, challenging society to be great rather than mediocre, adds Coburn, and I believe that together we can create a positive movement to improve many lives, not just our own.
