Read about impressive guerrilla marketing campaigns and stupid Simon Zingerman is a newly graduated graphic design student from Stockholm, Sweden.
As school finished Simon started up his own business Skyborn Works, with strong intention to finish and self-publish the book as his very first professional project. Although he spent many months writing this book Simon chooses not to label himself as an author.
In his own words: "I'm simply a young and hungry entrepreneur retelling stories in a fun and exciting way, hoping that the result of my hard work in putting it all together will convert the skeptical into believers, make heroes out of cowards and turn dull entrepreneurs and directors into trendsetters".
Simon is a graphic designer at heart and writing and designing this book has been a great learning process for him. Follow the unstoppable creative force at: skybornworks. The assessment would make sense if there was a "Top 10 happiest endings" chart at the end of the book or something similar, but there was nothing of the sort. After the first few pages, I started hungrily devouring one story after another, skipping these gauges entirely. The keywords under the title of each story were met with the same fate.
Zingerman's graphic design touches seem to have worked well in many aspects but not so much in others. But I won't be too critical of the details. This book has given me food for thought and inspiration and I will be sure to read it again, this time taking notes. Jun 09, Jamie Belanger rated it really liked it. First, as a disclosure, the author of this book contacted me directly and offered a free copy in exchange for this review. I just wanted to say that up front.
And getting a free copy in no way influenced me to say anything positive or negative. What follows is my usual honest opinion: This book is a collection of stories -- some inspiring, some fascinating, some just plain crazy. Some stories were familiar while others were new to me.

Each story is no more that two pages, and many are smaller than that. This makes the entire book perfect for reading when you have a lot of small time chunks. We all definitely do need heroes to look up to, to learn from, to emulate, and sometimes to laugh at. The PDF I read had statistics after each story that seemed arbitrary.
Granted, individual perceptions differ. I found the inclusion of these statistics was interesting at first, then I soon started scrolling past them. For example, a story of Joshua Bell one of the top musicians in the world playing in a subway during rush hour, for free, brought a huge smile to my face. I read the story twice since it was so interesting. I can't agree with either of those ratings It's interesting to note that these story statistics and all graphics except for the cover are absent from the EPUB I was sent.
Even without reading the statistics section, I still liked seeing the occasional amusing graphic after a story. Overall, I found this to be an enjoyable collection of real-life stories, easily worth a 3 to 4 star rating.

Gotta say that what really left an impression on me when I got a copy of the book are the illustratrions. I like colorful books. It's a collection of interesting short reads lined up to inspire you or provoke you to get out of your comfort zone and make your own stuff happen no matter how stupid, silly, or impossible they might seem.
I honestly liked a lot of stories in it. My favorites involve the author's stor Gotta say that what really left an impression on me when I got a copy of the book are the illustratrions. My favorites involve the author's story about listening and the crazy love letters sent out to people for advertising purposes that broke up a couple.
That was totally wicked in both sense of the word. I was also surprised that my country was mentioned in this book! The Philippines! I also liked that story, it's kind of cool to get featured in an independent release like this. This book isn't supposed to be read continuously--not very much like a novel. Although you can read it both ways. But for me it's like eating a nugget a day at a time. You can read it when you're on the way to work, or you're at work and have nothing to do, or you're at home and looking for some light read or inspiration.
You can call this a reference book with all the stories about success in random fields of human interest. I think the author did a pretty swell job into collecting stories just for the heck of completing a book for everyone to read--FOR FREE! By Elin Hermanson kulturellan. If your creativity is on a standstill, or if you're just stuck in a project By Elin Hermanson kulturellan. If your creativity is on a standstill, or if you're just stuck in a project, small or big, this book can be the key to you getting back in business.
With these stories you get the feeling that everyone can succeed, if it's about getting a prosperous career, earning a fortune in an innovative way, or just become an emotionally richer individual. You can read about clever solutions to big problems, intelligent inventions or accomplished marketing. Or about people who never give up despite hopeless failures, but whose dreams eventually come true because of stubbornness and a never-ending storage of optimism.
This is a great feel-good book that you can either gorge all in one go for more than a mouthful of motivation, or pick up every now and then for a sporadic reliance when hope is slipping away. If anything, it's a lightsome collection of both heart-warming and brain-tickling tales that everyone should take part of.

Received free from Goodreads First Reads. Based solely off the cover and 5 minutes of skimming through the book, I was pretty sure I was going to love it. And I was right! I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but it took me by surprise. We All Need Heroes is a collection of short narratives about real people who have done amazing things in surprising ways. And some people who were just crazy. Altogether, this stories are inspirational and help to think outside the box.
I thoroughly enj Received free from Goodreads First Reads. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I would recommend to anyone I'm passing it to several of my friends next. Aug 07, Nawel rated it it was amazing Shelves: inspiring. Serendipity, is the word describing how I discovered this book. Most of the stories it contains are amazing and very inspiring.
This book simply teaches us how someone who wants to change the world, should give attention to little things rather than big ones to make this change, and how a simple foolish idea can make you rich, or at least makes an impact. PS: It feels go Serendipity, is the word describing how I discovered this book. PS: It feels good to read such a book between two novels haha Nov 10, Jay Arcy rated it it was amazing.
Inspiring, yet humorous and informative!! Great book for the rainy season. I love the illustrations because it makes for an easy read. I also love the "statistics of the story" at the end of each story. This one was really well-thought of. Thank you to Mr. Zingerman for the pdf file! I assure you friends, that the free copy I got did not influence me from giving this honest review about the book.
Jun 08, Giulia rated it it was amazing. I really like this book, the stories are amazing! There are some of them very funny, others are interesting and I have to say that I learn some useful things. And then there are stories that manage to charm you, that make you believe everything is possible I just couldn't stop reading, I kept saying to myself: "Just another one Jun 06, Cindy rated it it was ok.
I just could not finish this book, sorry to say. I was asked to review this book, as many others have been. I thought I would enjoy it, and get something out of it, since I read many entrepreneur-inspired stories.
This one failed to impress. It "reads" much like a college term paper; it doesn't come to any conclusive information, and I gained nothing new from it. I think a rewrite, or use of a ghost writer might improve the text. Jul 18, Liz rated it really liked it Shelves: first-reads. This isn't a book I would typically read so I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself enjoying it.
Since the book is filled with one and two page stories, I found myself reading it during commercials and while cooking. I was already familiar with some of the stories but most were completely new. These stories are great for repeating during "water cooler" conversations at work or random conversation fillers. Hope you find it as entertaining as I did. Apr 06, Mahmoud Khoder rated it it was amazing. Buy this book now not because I said so, it is because the book is worth it!!!
Why I loved reading this book? Because it is one of those very rare books tend to inspire you to move forward in life and become your own hero by telling little stories about successful heroes.
Story Telling is the best writing method to write a book for readers to enjoy and understand without getting bored. Jul 08, Sara Datsova rated it it was amazing. Idea into practice! Jun 24, Edward Jackson rated it it was amazing. Great source of inspiration! Lovely stories and beautiful design.
