Overview
UPDATE!! Generation Optimism has been successfully published and it's available on Amazon and B&N. I wrote this book because I realized that my generation (Gen Z) is one of the most pessimistic in the history of humankind. What??? Yes! Even though every aspect of life: education, entertainment, healthcare, information, medicine, science, sports, technology, as of this moment, has never been better. My book will publish in December 2019.

Story of My Book

 

Generation Optimism


My name is Juan David Campolargo, and I am the Author of Generation Optimism. I wrote this book because I realized that my generation (Gen Z)  and most of the population are shifting to be more pessimistic. In fact, my generation is one of the most pessimistic in the history of humankind.

My hope is that, in reading this book, you will learn more about Optimism, the science of why we tend to be negative, and much, much more. In this book, I hope to instill the same sort of passion and excitement that I have for optimism and perspective in you. And then ultimately I want you to see this book as a tool to help you take advantage of the benefits of living an OPTIMISTIC life.

In this book, you'll learn about Optimism and Gaining perspective:

  • My personal journey of Optimism and how it has helped me
  • Deep understanding of our own human psychology & why we are wired to be negative
  • Inspiring stories of other people’s journey of optimism. You will learn from people like Mark Cuban and other super interesting personalities.
  • You will love this book if you are looking to alter your perspective and an “Outlook of Optimism” is not your strong suit.

 

Generation Optimism is a non-fiction book that speaks to younger generations and individuals who perceive life in a pessimistic way. After reading this book, I am sure you will dare to be an Optimist.

 

The Book - Generation Optimism


The book is written in 3 Parts....

Part 1 contains the introduction and Chapters 1-5. In the introduction, I start by giving you a different standpoint that I use to see life and the world. After that, the first chapters will include identifying how you think, whether you’re an optimist or a pessimist, the current state of the world, reasons for pessimism, the psychology of Optimism, and a little GIFT.

Part 2 contains Chapters 6-10. These chapters will be focused on Learning To Be An Optimist. Optimism is a skill, and like many other skills, such as coding, public speaking, drawing. They can be LEARNED. That’s why I developed a method to start being an Optimist NOW.

Part 3 contains Chapters 11-12. This part of the book will look to the future. The world will have difficulties, adversities, and challenges that have never existed before. With all the negativity and pessimism, we will not be able to solve them unless we proactively create and encourage more people to be optimistic... we might never solve them.

About the Author

 

Juan David Campolargo is a 16-year old in high school. He was originally born and raised in Venezuela and recently moved to Chicago 2 years ago. When he first arrived in the U.S., he knew no English but mastered it in less than 6 months. The following year he started taking college-level and honors classes after just a year of moving into the country and learning the language. Juan David speaks four languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Chinese).

He is also the CEO & Founder of Optimum Smart (a company that helps and advises businesses in social media and marketing). He’s also learned to invest in the stock market, cryptocurrencies, and startups, and has started a small hedge fund.

Juan David wrote this book to inspire the next generations. After reading an article that described how his generation (Gen Z) and millennials are the most pessimistic in history. He knew he had to take ACTION. Juan David quickly reached out to different people and started to research the best way to make an IMPACT. And that’s how the book came into being.

When he’s not pursuing an opportunity or a crazy challenge (like building/designing underwater objects). He’s playing soccer, running, volunteering at the largest museum of the Western hemisphere, or learning about science at America's particle physics and accelerator laboratory. But honestly, he’s mostly looking for things to do, challenges to overcome, and successes to achieve.

Risks & Challenges

 

The biggest challenge with publishing a book is delivering the finished book to the backer, specifically my mailing of the book to you. I have eliminated this risk by building into the campaign the mailing and shipping costs of your signed copies to you within each pre-order tier.

The risk of delivering the pre-sale copies of my book is contingent on the publisher we use. I will be working closely with New Degree Press to make sure we get the earliest possible ship date of the signed book copy to you. We will keep all pre-sale backers up-to-date as my book hits each key milestone and publishes. You will know when the copies of my book you pre-ordered are expected to ship.
