the positively present guide to life!

Tomorrow is a very exciting day for me. It’s the official debut of The Positively Present Guide to Life, a book I’ve been hard at work on for over two years!

Back in 2012, I left my full-time job in Marketing to pursue writing and blogging. Since then I’ve self-published a book, Stay Positive: Daily Reminders from Positively Present, as well as written a variety of e-books, but this in my first in-the-bookstore, traditionally published book and I couldn’t be more excited about its launch! 

If you’re already as excited as I am about it and want to order your copy ASAP, you can grab a copy on Amazon or check in with your local bookseller to see if it’ll be in stock tomorrow. If you’re not sure if this is the book for you, here’s what you need to know about the book… (and scroll down to the bottom of the post to check out the bonus freebie!)

ABOUT THE BOOK 

Ok, so, there are tons of self-help books on the market, but this one is different. First and foremost, it blends serious content with inspiring illustrations, something you don’t see too often in the self-help space. And, more importantly, it’s not a book about achieving happiness (though happiness is a lovely by-product of living a positively present life) and it’s not about perfecting your life. Instead, it’s about learning to live positively in present — no matter what the present moment holds. This is the book you need to face whatever challenges you currently have in your life, to create the relationships you want to have, and to learn how to make the most of every moment. 

Featuring five inspiring and insightful chapters on home, work, love, relationships, and change, the book provides practical advice for creating a nurturing home, building a fulfilling career, developing great relationships, appreciating true love, and embracing change. It also includes 30 easy-to-do exercises to inspire action, create transformation, encourage positivity, embrace the moment, and achieve fulfillment. And it has additional features such as inspiring illustrations and access to additional online content like free worksheets to use in conjunction with the book (see here).

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to stay present, live positively, and make the most of every moment.   

AWESOME FEATURES

Obviously, as the author and illustrator of the book, I think the book’s awesome, but you’ll have to be the judge of that yourself. Here are some exciting things to know about the book. These are the things that really make it unique and inspiring, and I hope these features will help you feel motivated to live a more positive, more present life. 

• FREE WORKSHEETS: If you visit DaniDiPirro.com/Books/Guide, you can download free PDFs of worksheets that accompany the content in the book. The worksheets aren’t necessary, but they are a great bonus if you’re the type of person who likes to have everything organized (and color-coordinated with the book) and wants to really engage in the activities from the book. 
• INSPIRING ILLUSTRATIONS: This is one of my absolute favorite parts of the book, and I think it’s one of the things that makes it so unique. To accompany the content, I created illustrations throughout the book to offer additional inspiration and motivation. These illustrations, paired with quotes, have been created to keep you inspired as you read. 
• EASY-TO-DO EXERCISES: One of the most important things to me when I created this book was to make it a practical guide for living positively in the present. For that reason, each section of the book has a practical activity that will urge you to apply the topic in your real life. As I wrote about recently, self-awareness isn’t enough. Action is where real change happens. 
• POSITIVITY REMINDERS: In the book, you’ll learn about the six essential Positively Present Principles. These are the vital foundation for living a positive, present life. To help you keep these in mind, I’ve featured reminders throughout the book that highlight how a particular principle is relevant to that particular topic. 
• STEP-BY-STEP ADVICE: Of course, the most important thing about the book is the content. In each of the five sections, you’ll find six chapters with insights, inspiration, and step-by-step advice for tackling life’s many challenges. The advice I offer comes from my own personal experience. It’s worked for me — and I know it’ll benefit you too!

I’ve worked so hard on this book and I really think you’ll love it! Tomorrow (March 10, 2015)  the book will be available in select bookstores. You can purchase a copy online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Amazon UK, or IndieBound. If you purchase the book and would like to leave a review on Amazon or GoodReads, I would be forever thankful! And if you’d like to help spread the word about the book via social media or to friends and family, that would be ah-maz-ing.
