Reclaim Your Dreams

An Uncommon Guide To Living On Your Own Terms

by Jonathan Mead

ebookdreamcover1

Following your dreams is scary. What’s more scary is spending much of our lives searching for the illusion of security. What dreams would you have left behind if you didn’t live tomorrow?
Would you regret not following your heart?

I love Typescript’s design, and I have Jonathan Mead to thank. I first became acquainted with Jonathan through his blog, Illuminated Mind, when we were syndicated on the same blog network. From there, we followed each other on Twitter, and when I put out a call for help with blog design, he was one of the first to answer.

His talent doesn’t end with graphic design, however. His blog is a great tribute to personal development, and his book is a testament to living life completely. I read “Reclaim Your Dreams” at a time in my life where everything Jonathan wrote spoke to me as a great reminder of the lessons I had learned, when I needed encouragement to pursue creativity. However, it’s really for everyone: for those who are just beginning to realize their passions, for those who feel a little lost, and for those, like me, who have only recently gotten back on track and can use that extra reminder.

Jonathan’s e-book Reclaim Your Dreams will give you the tools to define your dreams, keep them alive and inspired, and give you the courage to make your dreams a reality.

April’s giveaway is a free copy of Reclaim Your Dreams. To learn more about Jonathan and Illuminated Mind, check out his blog and reclaim your dreams.

  13. Dan Miranda April 12th, 2009 6:21 pm

    I’m very interested. I’ve heard outstanding things about this ebook and can’t believe it’s being offered for free. Almost seems as if it’s too good to be true!

  14. James NomadRip April 12th, 2009 6:23 pm

    One of my favorite blogs to follow. Count me in!

  15. Crystal Woods April 12th, 2009 6:45 pm

    I’ve noticed Jonathan’s work popping up on zenhabits, one of my long time fave blogs. I haven’t looked much more into it, but this would make the third mention of him – and when something’s mentioned to me three times I KNOW I have to investigate further…

    I’ve also been reading Jonathan on zenhabits (through my RSS feed of course). I would love a free copy of this book! I’m a college student, and get bogged down from time to time with all of the work thrown at me. I feel like I need help in keeping my head up towards my passion.

  17. DevinM April 12th, 2009 7:49 pm

    It seems lately the only passion I have is seeking advice for discovering my passion. This sounds like a great read. Please sign me up. Thanks!

  18. Heather April 12th, 2009 8:52 pm

    Sounds like a good book.

  19. Tristan April 13th, 2009 2:02 am

    I’ll be buying one if I don’t win I think. I’m interested in the idea of dreams, passions, and loving your work so that you’re not living a 9-5 existence.

  20. Lorraine April 13th, 2009 4:55 pm

    I’d like a copy please, Jonathan. Thanks.

  21. Garry Miranda April 13th, 2009 11:44 pm

  28. Mike Fior April 15th, 2009 6:05 pm

    I could use an extended dose of Jonathan Mead’s writings!

  29. Mark David Moran April 15th, 2009 6:06 pm

    I’ve been following Jonathan for a while and love the writing style – challenging ideas that are already challening ideas. Takes it another few steps and it really works for me… Looking forward to reading the e-book.

    Cheers

    Mark

  30. Joseph April 15th, 2009 6:07 pm

    Swooping in from Twitter post. Please send me a copy for the student body. Thanks!

  32. Aynos Siderale April 15th, 2009 6:08 pm

    I hope it will be successful and will also be translated in other languages (for example to an Italian as me, who knows of English the bare minimum to read your blog. Haha).

  33. Anjy April 15th, 2009 6:09 pm

    Leaving a comment… love your work!

  34. Shelagh Howard April 15th, 2009 6:13 pm

  35. Nora April 15th, 2009 6:17 pm

    Well, I guess I really need to read this book since I am living on my own terms and life still sucks!
    Send copy!
    and thanks!

  36. Josh Moore April 15th, 2009 6:20 pm

    I think Jonathon has achieved some amazing results and I think reading his e-book would be an excellent way to learn how to achieve the same!

  37. Andrew Schulman April 15th, 2009 6:24 pm

    I’m new to Jonathan’s work/writing but am very impressed so far and would love to get more acquainted with it!

  38. Mitch Sternbach April 15th, 2009 7:12 pm
