Inhaltsangabe

Storytelling is one of our oldest and greatest human achievements. Stories can enchant, empower, inspire, motivate, and even change the course of humankind. Volume 2 of the i’Mpossible Project—Changing Minds, Breaking Stigma, Achieving the Impossible, offers another 50 life-changing stories. These are true tales from real people who have achieved incredible feats in the face of overwhelming odds, showing that impossible is just a state of mind—and that anything is possible. You’ll read about: an entrepreneur using his battle with alcohol abuse to empower others; an award winning high school student who battled bullying, self-harm, and an eating disorder to become her best self; and an actor who calls his depression "my frenemy Dewayne." If you’re looking to turn "impossible" into "possible" in your world… you need to read this book!
