Book/eBook Update
All - I've been hard at work on our new, free, book - 7 Cups for the Searching Soul. I've shared it with a few people and the feedback has been pretty positive, so I'm feeling encouraged. Here is a quick overview of my current plan:
1. Finish making edits and cleaning it up over this weeked.
2. Share with team over the weekend.
3. Share with community leadership teams next week.
4. Make any updates.
5. Share with community!
For each of these stages, I'll share it as a google doc where people can make comments. Once we have it to a solid place, we'll add it as a new guide. We'll also add a forum category for the book, a new section for each chapter, and then threads for each section. We'll then ask everyone to participate via the comments to add further clarifications, points, "thought stops", and other exercises.
This book is very much like our site. We are launching a strong solid version (probably a 7-8 on a scale of 1-10) and then we'll ask for everyone's help to make it a 10. The goal is a big one. We want to make this the very best self-help book. Yes, that's right, we want to make this book incredibly helpful. It'll always be free, we'll translate it, and we'll keep evolving it to make it better. There will always be a published version and then there will be evolving versions. Once we agree on certain additions, then we'll add it to the published version.
When we all feel good about it, we'll start the translation process as well. I'm really excited about this and I can't wait to share it with all of you! Looking forward to working with you all on this :)
That's really exciting and interesting! I can't wait to read it. Perhaps I can help you with linguistic corrections in the original or with the translation into Dutch at some point, I am a professional translator/reviewer :) Message me if you're interested!
@Emily90 Thank you! Definitely interested in translation help once we finalize things.
The leadership teams are reviewing now, so we should have some updates soon.
@GlenM Cool! Can't wait :)
I got a chance to read a draft this weekend and I love it.
This book is going to help so many people (and I know from books...).
All - just a quick update!
The leadership teams and @SunshineCat and @Anomalia have been super helpful in helping me get the e-book into better shape. We'll be posting it soon on Amazon and a few other outlets. We are also right now having it converted into HTML. Once that is done we'll add it to the site, connect each section to a forum, and work on making it better together.
I'll post more as soon as it is ready :)
@GlenM Yay!!

Hi @GlenM
I like this a lot. Just seeing the cover would tempt me to look inside.
The background looks like stars but not quite like the sky. No big bright stars or little dim ones. Stylized. Yes, that makes it intriguing.
