The Book of the Ten Journeys

Jazmin Harb

Living your best life

The Book of the Ten Journeys inspires readers to travel more often, and not just for the sake of taking a photo for Instagram. But to actually immerse themselves in new cultures, learn more about other religions, try new foods, meet new people, and above everything to get out of comfort zones to experience life to the fullest.

Synopsis

The problem in the market is there is no priority giving to the self help / storytelling genre, that focuses on getting people to step outside their comfort zone through travel. Travel and new ways of travel are at the forefront of many people's mind as positive steps are taking in this pandemic world. Many people are thinking about new forms of travel that might be outside their comfort zone. It is important to step out of your comfort zone to not only grow yourself as an individual, but to allow yourself to experience new ideas, culturies, and stories. Travel, when approached correctly can provide all of this and more.

This book is for you if you are ready to step out of your comfort zone and start traveling in a more meaningful way.

My book focuses on 10 travel experiences that shaped my personality and positive life approach, with a retrospective look back at my experience, my growth, the valuable lessons I pulled from each trip, and how the ready can apply those learnings on their own path of growth. The purpose of my book is to inspire readers to travel more often in ways that creating more meaningful experiences, by immersing themself into new cultures, learning more about other religions, trying new food, meeting new people, experiencing life to the fullest and above everything else, getting out of their comfort zone. By the end of the book every reader will be inspired to plan a new eye opening adventure to explore someplace new in the world that they never thought was a possibility.

I am the one to write this story because growing up I was taught to stay within my comfort zone and focus on what I already knew. It was not until I was an adult that I felt that I could travel freely to anywhere I wanted. Over the last several years I have traveled to over 50 countries including Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and most of Europe, while experiencing new cultures, cuisines, and historical experiences. Through one on one conversionations with locals in each destination I have expanded my awareness of how the different people experience the world and I came out on the other end, today, with 10 travel experiences that stick out as having shaped my positive and powerful approach towards being my best self and living my best life, all thanks to having stepped out of my comfort zone and travel in new ways. I want to inspire readers to push their mental boundaries and dream big. To understand that only you have the power it takes to be happy and create the life not only that you want but the life you deserve, for just being you.

Similar titles

  • The subtle art of not giving a fuck by Mark Manson in 2016, published by Harper. My book is similar to this book in the sense that I use personal experience and events to help drive life adjusting mentality shifts. It is different in the fact that it focuses these experiences on travel to help inspire a new generation of ethical travelers who truly engage with their destination.
  • You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero in 2013, published by Running Press. This book focuses on her personal experiences and the learnings from those experiences that can be applied to everyone's life. My book is specifically focused on travel experiences and how those can inspire readers to get outside of their comfort zone and highlight the positive life change travel itself can bring when approached properly.

1106 Design, LLC

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org. Alli's "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies is an invaluable resource.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner

You would provide us with the print-ready digital files (one for the cover and one for the interior) and we print the books as they are sold through our distribution partner’s websites. We pay you for those sales approximately 90 days later. The compensation you earn is based on the retail price you set, minus the wholesale discount you offer our distribution partners, minus the print cost.
