From the Desk of the How-To Junkie for the "Inspiration Junkie":
Howdy friend, who wants "to get inspired,"
Lacking inspiration? Not feeling your mojo? Can't find your muse? Don't sweat it fellow aspiring inspiration junkie! You are here because you want to have more inspiration in your life - whether it's for doing work, accomplishing goals, or putting that final touch on that magnum opus.
Look around you...there are inspirations all around; you just have to find it and see it. I will help you do that; however, it's not going to be easy.
Now you're probably wondering: "Huh? Why are you telling me it's not going to be easy? Isn't that counterintuitive, because you're supposed to tell me how easy it is to get inspiration so I will buy this book?"
Well, yes, I probably could do what most folks out there will - give you the usual recycled inspirational stories or quotes, and tell you to "just believe in yourself" to only feel pumped temporarily in that present moment...which I'm sure you're getting tired of hearing.
The truth is - inspiration is rather subjective. Let face it, not everybody is going to get inspired by the same scenery of nature or the sound of a waterfall because each of us get inspired by different things. You have to discover what they are for yourself.
Thus, this will not be your typical feel-good inspiration book. On the contrary, this is more like an "inspiration training workbook" than anything else, for a personalized self-involved interactive approach to be an inspiration junkie.
By being an "Inspiration Junkie," you will know:
* How to Inspire Yourself Through Your Own Words.
* How to Find Inspiration within Your Environment.
* How to Get Inspiration from Other People.
* How to Draw Out Inspiration that Really Matters.

Remember that this will not be another lazy feel-good motivational read. If you don't like doing exercises, then this is not for you and I'm sorry for wasting your time.
The goal I really want by the time you're finished going through this is that you will have gotten tons of inspirations that you can apply anywhere in your life, after putting in the work and effort. If that is you, welcome aboard and let's get inspired!

OK fine, if you had a choice, which one would you opt for a.) soaking up sun on the beach in the Caribbean to the endless cocktails to your heart's content b.) returning to work Monday morning to the endless tasks ready to sink your teeth into? The answer is obvious.
Is all this because of a lack of energy, mental toughness, or motivation causing poor performances? Whatever the issue is, it no longer matters because what I'm about to show you will put you into a state of mental-hyperactive overdrive to perform at your peak when it really counts.

Howdy friend, who wants "to develop critical thinking,"
In the old days where famous Greek philosophers - like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle - would conglomerate in the public square Agora of Athens, people from all over would gather around to listen attentively to their enlightening thoughts.
