Hi! My name is Jared, and I would love your assistance in helping me publish my book. There are thousands of self-help, diet, and exercise books, but very few combine their messages. For the last two decades, I've experienced changes in messaging. My intention in writing this book was to look at "exercise" through a different lens by acknowledging that our intention and "whys" are more critical and impactful than the patterns and systems of "hows" and "whats" that dictate our behaviors and actions. I wrote "The Weight of Emotions: A Dialectical Approach to Wellness through Self-Actualization and Intentional Living" to introspectively examine the intent behind our actions and behaviors as we attempt to become better versions of ourselves.

There are several levels of publication that I am attempting to raise money for (grammar editing, content editing, design and layout, ebook formatting, physical print copy printing and distribution, marketing etc.). The costs increase with the services included, and so I have set my ultimate target so that I would be able to offer the best product over the most platforms. This donation platform does not allow for any personal incentives for donation, however, if you are interested in what your donation goes toward and what that means to/for you, please send me a message and I will give you those details!
