Abound with tons of powerful ideas and uplifting thoughts, this book urges readers to discard mediocrity, and dare to be original.

You're Born An Original: Don't Die A Copy encourages one to embrace their uniqueness, as it is the one thing that sets them apart from others.

The material of the book is woven into 52 sub-sections, or as the author calls them, ‘nuggets of truth’. Each of these offer value for time, providing innumerable points, ideas, and motivational words of wisdom. Every nugget is uniquely titled for instance, ‘You’re like a tea bag - not worth much till you ve been through some hot water’, ‘Decision determines destiny’, ‘Go out on a limb - that’s where the fruit is, and ‘Be like babies - they like changes’.
