Peter Prichard has been reading books with the name Prichard on them since he was a teenager and was first given the book Researches into the Physical History of Mankind written by James Cowles Prichard in 1826. Almost every book he has read by his ancestors has involved helping readers understand something about the world in which they live and how that information can help them live a more informed life.
The recent publication of his third book, and first non-fiction effort, Have a Positive Impact During Uncertain Times continues in the family tradition. This timely book provides dozens of suggestions, self-assessment exercises, resources and links to data that helps readers understand how they can have a positive impact on those around them, those in their community, state, place of employment, country and world. These resources include free assessments like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Career Anchors profile, the ability to identify your resilience profile, understanding the mental predisposition of Olympic level athletes as it relates to the success of regular individuals, and an exercise that provides insight into one’s emotional intelligence and how to apply that learning to positive impact actions.
Purchasing that book through the link that follows allows one to submit examples of actions that have created positive impact. These submissions might be included in a follow-up titled Positive Impact Successes.
We hope you gain meaningful information from this site and the book and the reason for that is captured in the quote that ends the book.
“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of individuals to elevate their life by conscious endeavor.”
Henry David Thoreau
Have a Positive Impact During Uncertain Times is now available on Amazon.com in Kindle and paperback formats.
We Want to Hear Your Stories of Successful Positive Impact
We want to hear how you have stepped forward and taken action that made an impact on the world around you. What was the result? How did it leave a mark on you personally? What was the impact on the people who were influenced by your effort? We want to hear all about it – big or small, it doesn’t matter. Positive impact creates change and that’s what’s important. Read some of our shared success stories here >>
We’ve made it easy for you to share your impact. Instructions on how to submit your story follow.
Tell us your story
Fill out the following form – we’ve made it easy! Tell us briefly about your story. If we receive enough great stories, it might just mean another book! Here are a few tips for submitting your story:
- Be Personal: This is your story and should focus on your own life experience.
- Be Specific: The most powerful and memorable stories include specific, real-life examples.
- Be Concise: There’s no specific limit on the length of your story, but you should try to communicate the essence of your story as clearly and concisely as possible. (500 hundred words is a good maximum guideline – shorter might be even better as sometimes less is more. Think about what YOU want to read!)
We are not gathering this information to sell you anything or distribute your email to others who might want to do that. We are only gathering your success stories in the hopes of creating another book that shows how individuals are in fact having a positive impact. We hope a book like that would inspire more people to work to have a positive impact.
We need to restate that there is no guarantee that your story will be published. If we do not receive enough stories the follow-up book will not be written. If we receive many stories we will have to choose some and leave some out.
