Impossible
The wait is finally over and it’s here. I’ve talked about this enough so you can read about it more over at Impossible HQ. I know, I know, you all thought it was impossible for me to actually finish this, but it’s finally here 🙂
What is the Impossible Manifesto?
Table of Contents
It’s a challenge to push your limits, and live a life worth writing about by doing the impossible.
What’s In It?
I’m not big into promoting word counts or page numbers (they really don’t mean anything anyways) and I have better things to do than try and convince you that the number of characters on a page mean more than the quality of them. The bottom line is that this will take you less than 20 minutes to read. In it you’ll find the following things:
- A Closer Look Into My Story
- The Question That Changed Everything For Me
- What Limits Really Are
- Three Stories From People who Literally Did the Impossible.
- The Fear Barometer (and how to make scary decisions)
Along with a few other really important concepts I wanted to include.
Where Can I Get It?
Check it out over on the HQ. You can download it for absolutely free, cause I love you guys like that.

Now I must add to my holiday to-do list: Reading the Impossible Manifesto. At 47 pages, it’s more of a commitment than your average blog post! That said, it’s 47 pages I’ll devour as soon as I can! In the meantime, just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on setting it loose in the world!
Deborah dont put it on a list of things to do, its a great read and its not a long 47 pages. Took me about 20 Joel did a great job with his manifesto. Joel is a really cool guy I like how he thinks. I don’t know if he realizes all the people he touches. He has been a inspiration in my quest of Impossible Things.
Really appreciate the kind words Chuck!
It’s just about 20 minutes. Won’t take long to read – I promise 🙂
Joel,
Spectacular job with the manifesto. I have already breezed through it and will give it a more thorough read soon.
I’m constantly impressed with how well your “impossible” life and work is going.
Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thank you sir. We should connect again here soon.
Reading reading reading. All day. Repeatedly. I’ve recommended it to a few people as well.
Rock on, Joel! This is awesome. Thank you!
Thank you Kaari 🙂
You, my friend, are inspirational.
Speak for yourself Ms. $40,000 Wall Street Journal Fashionista 🙂 So proud of you guys!
Just finished the manifesto Joel,,good job. UPS screwed up big time.
Ha, They don’t even KNOW! 🙂
I love this manifesto, it got me moving right away. Thank you for the inspiration Joel.
And I loved how you used one of my favorite quotes:
“It’s always Impossible
until it is done.”
– Nelson Mandela
Thank you man!
Thank you Alejandro. That quote is a favorite of mine.
Joel,
Just read the Manifesto . . .well done! Especially liked all the details about your job search and working at UPS. I think that background info is really helpful when telling your own story. Hope you have good holidays and that your story gets even better in 2012!

Hopefully the UPS story makes it a little easier to relate 🙂
Joel—nicely done! I love the Manifesto! A succinctly written, fun, and challenging reminder to live life fully. Lots of amazing, inspiring and practical content in that little book. I can feel the authenticity and integrity, too. You’re the real deal, brother.
I love how you say the impossible, well, isn’t. And how perspective changes everything (what seemed impossible yesterday, is easy today).
I also love how you point out that “it’s not all about me”. How life becomes so much more satisfying and fulfilling and fun when we expand our view and start including others in our “impossibilities”. In my experience, there’s no “charge” quite like the one you get when supporting someone else to have a breakthrough.
Keep up the great work, my friend!
