Pick my book cover

Hi Friends,

This comes to you from Rockford, the ‘Screw Capital of the World’, in Illinois. The magic of the Midwest summer, with its long, warm days, multidimensional clouds, passing storms, lush green as far as the eye can see, and something I have not seen since childhood—fireflies. How is your summer so far? What’s making your summer days a little more special this season?

I want to thank everyone who took a poll and helped me decide on the subtitle for Stress Protection Factor. The results are in, and it looks like it was an even split between two versions.

Some of you found the version with the word “Surrender” somewhat depressing :) And I get it! Surrendering is not an easy word in cultures oriented toward conquering and succeeding, and we will dive more into that in the book.

I’m excited to announce that Make Well-Being Your New Baseline is officially the subtitle we are moving forward with!

A special shout-out to my friend and fellow author Jeffrey Jaime (check out his book on leadership and team building) for the idea to include “A Guide to Everyday Resilience” in the subtitle. It just clicked into place.

Next week marks an important book milestone: deciding on the main cover design concept. I would love to hear your thoughts and first reactions to these concepts. If you saw this book on a bookstore shelf, which one are you most likely to pick? Let’s vote!

Here's a clearer look at each cover, as small phone screens might make it hard to see them.

Please take a second to let me know your pick by either voting in the poll or responding to this message. I count every vote and read every message.

*I’m also curious to know when you were last at a bookstore, the last book you read, and how many of you prefer to read books in digital, audio or paper forms, but let’s save that for another time.

This is an exciting next step toward bringing Stress Protection Factor to life this fall, and I’m thrilled to have you as part of this journey. Stay tuned!

I appreciate you.

Be ♡ ︎well,

Olga
