INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER KEVIN HALL UNLOCKS THE SECRET MEANING OF WORDS IN GROUNDBREAKING NEW BOOK
Hall’s ‘Aspire’ takes readers through a unique journey of self-discovery and purpose
(New York, NY, November 5, 2009) – Highly sought-after leadership speaker and business coach Kevin Hall releases his widely appealing and highly anticipated inaugural book, “Aspire: Discovering Your Purpose Through the Power of Words,” which guides readers on a journey through inspirational encounters that individually reveal the inherent power of words.
Hall made publishing history for a first time author, when he entered into a co-publishing agreement with HarperCollins Publishers after an intense two-day auction with three other major publishers. And, while the book will be available in stores on January 5, 2010, thousands of passionate followers have already driven “Aspire” to an Amazon.com “Top 100” bestseller ranking.
“Aspire” is designed to appeal to all audiences by emphasizing Hall’s unique groundbreaking discovery of a language of leadership and self-discovery. The book deems to understand what words mean in their purest sense, while revealing a new purpose-driven vocabulary.
Hall breaks down this secret vocabulary into 11 key words, which he creatively serves to his readers through a series of enlightening and sometimes heart-wrenching stories. Beginning with an encounter with a shopkeeper in Vienna, Hall discovers that one word, “Genshai,” could change the world for the better; and from here, the journey begins. A quadriplegic on a race to set a world record introduces Hall to the deeper meaning of “Passion,” and Michael Jordan’s famed mind coach, Dr. Gerald Bell, unlocks the power of a “Pathfinder.”
Part inspirational text and part self-discovery workbook, “Aspire” challenges readers to discover their own true purpose by actively participating in the journey – essentially creating a register of individuals who have enriched their life by embodying the outlined words in “The Book of Greats.”
“Words have tremendous power for good or for ill. They can inspire or expire. The choice is ours,” declares Hall. “Using words and language that lift the human spirit creates a new paradigm in thinking. Instead of “What can I get?” our mentality shifts to “What can I give?”
“Aspire” and Hall have already received immense acclaim from renowned leaders in the industry, including Stephen R. Covey, bestselling author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, who provides the foreword in this book. “Just as I broke new ground in human development over twenty years ago by uncovering the habits that make for a meaningful and effective life,” states Covey, “Kevin is breaking new ground by uncovering and revealing the true intent and meaning of the words that make up those habits.”
