Thumbs Up!

Welcome to the Age of Inspiration

Joey Reiman was told he may never move his hand again after a horrible, paralyzing accident in 1975. Refusing to accept this prognosis and give in to negative thoughts, all Reiman wanted was to do was move his thumb. “If I could just raise my thumb,” he thought, “the rest will follow.” With this seed of what he now calls optimalism—believing that optimism creates optimal outcomes—Reiman did it. He gave himself a thumbs up.

Now Reiman, the world’s leading purpose branding expert and motivational speaker, will share his belief system with you. In Thumbs Up!, Reiman shows how five simple pointers will ultimately help you activate your dreams into actions. The secret to success is right at your fingertips. Your digits will guide you to:

Give the world a thumbs up
Point to your purpose in life
Give your middle finger to fear
March forth to take action
Remember the little things that matter

Thumbs Up! is an epic contribution in picking up those who have been down, focusing people on looking up and rising up to all they imagined to be, and determining that a life of purpose begins in the palm of one’s hand. Start your journey of life here and Reiman will help you realize that deeper love, more meaningful work, better health, greater wealth, and richer faith are all within your grasp.
