We All Need Heroes: Stories of the Brave and Foolish
For the record; I'm no author and neither am I an expert at the English language. So in advance - sorry about the grammar. I'm a newly graduated graphic design student from Sweden, who simply loves tales of the brave and foolish. When I'm not busy trying to take over the world with my projects, I spend time collecting inspiring stories I come across. After meeting and interviewing people during my studies in both the United States and Sweden, I've come to realize that we in general carry around some really interesting stories. If not a funny anecdote or urban legend, then a self-experienced story of great value. The problem with the latter is that these may never be retold and hence die out. Therefore, the idea behindWe All Need Heroeswas born. I believe in the power of sharing. Whether it's knowledge, creativity or a cold beer. And that's really what this book is all about - sharing. The idea was simply to retell these new and old stories while adding my own thoughts and pointers to increase their value.    The finished book is filled with a huge mix of inspirational and fun stories of people and their creative solutions from all around the world. It includes everything from successful business ideas to everyday inspiration and clever solutions. Ideas I wish I had introduced or been part of myself. Most of the stories can be applied to any line of business so the audience for this book is pretty much anyone looking for a fun and inspiring read. So, what's the purpose ofWe All Need Heroes? By showing the greatness of others I strengthen myself in my profession. These projects and people have encouraged me to follow my crazy dreams and pursue my chosen career. I give examples of possible moral, lessons to be learned from each story, but of course they're free for you to interpret. This book will have done its job if it affects you in a way that makes you improve one or two things about yourself or your life on Monday morning.     We all need heroes - these are some of mine.
