The Adventures of Binder-Man: And How He Changed His World (Kind Of)
"Health Communications, Inc (HCI), the original publisher of theChicken Soup for the Soulfranchise, has long been a producer of inspirational and self-help books. Their latest publication,The Adventures of Binder-Man,follows in Chicken Soup's wake as a collection of true stories illustrating how 'small choices made each day can create joy, meaning, and lasting change.' Don Kuhl created the character of Binder-Man – complete with donned cape - as a way to bring humor and inspiration to his wearied employees during his business's start-up phase. Binder-Man's motivation helped turn The Change Companies into a multi-million dollar business and selling over 20 million interactive journals worldwide."—Publisher's Weekly"If you can't read, you'll enjoy the graphics that tell a story. If you can read, you'll be entertained and enlightened. If you read with your heart, you'll be touched, moved and inspired."–David Mee-Lee, MD, Psychiatrist and Chief Editor"With humility, tenderness and an astonishing vulnerability, Don Kuhl delivers healing and hope. Binder-Man carries the glue that will put Humpty-Dumpty back together again."–Roy H. Williams,Wall Street JournalandNew York Timesbestselling author of The Wizard of Ads trilogy"Don's lessons and stories provide me with a time-out that teaches and inspires me.

It is replete with engaging snapshot life stories, and with the joys, regrets and wisdom that accumulate with years of searching sobriety."–William R.
