Astute readers who visit The Tramadol Diaries (as opposed to keeping up with it via a feed reader, that is) will perhaps have noticed a new badge in the sidebar as of the date of this post.
This badge is about thinking big. And about The Think Big Manifesto, a new book by renowned author Michael Port with Mina Samuels (that’s not an affiliate link, which may tell you something about how I view this book).
While I’m still working my way through it, I can already tell this is “one of those books.”
What caught my eye about this title, of course, was the similarity between it and my oft-repeated mantra — the one my coaching clients are probably sick of hearing from me! — which is: “Dream Big.” I hardly ever see this philosophy repeated in modern self-improvement or business development contexts. It seems everybody’s into “being reasonable” and “thinking small” these days.
Understandable though this may be, I think it’s completely wrong-headed. It’s precisely now, in times of strife and chaos, that we need to think HUGE.
So, I’ve bought extra copies on my own dime and I’m giving away two of them — one here, at The Tramadol Diaries, and one at my other site, The Inspired Solo. How can you win one?
Simple — in fact, it’s as easy as 1-2-3:
- Go to my contact form on this blog.
- Fill it out and in the comments section, write about your “BIG DREAM” (or “BIG THOUGHT”). It doesn’t have to be related to chronic pain necessarily. Also, let me know whether it’s OK if I share your big dream anonymously with other TTD readers in a future post on this blog. (Of course, you can just enter the contest without having your dream or thought published, simply by stating so.)
- Click send.
That’s all you have to do. One week from today, at approximately 8 PM Eastern, I’ll use a randomizer to draw one entry and that lucky person will get an absolutely free copy of Michael Port’s The Think Big Manifesto.
You can also enter over at The Inspired Solo, but only one book per person will be awarded. One entry per person per blog: I want your best and biggest thoughts and dreams.
