New York City man lives through crippling depression, father’s suicide, and girlfriend’s cancer

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. - Sept. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Skookum Hill Publishing will be releasing the compilation book The i’Mpossible Project: Volume 1—Reengaging With Life, Creating a New You. Critics describe the book as a “Chicken Soup for the Soul for the new millennium.” Author, actor and speaker Josh Rivedal curated and edited the book. Academy Award winner James Lecesne and Ali Stroker, an actor from FOX’s GLEE, are two of the book’s fifty authors. Kevin Hines—global speaker on mental health, suicide prevention, and bipolar disorder—wrote the foreword to the book.

“Storytelling is the beginning of every great movement,” says author Rivedal. “I started telling my story to help others with mental health issues and suicide. But there’s so much gratification in helping others tell their story. Some of the topics inside this book are not ones typically found in an inspirational-style book: murder, schizophrenia, and a transgender recording artist. Yet each story displays its own beauty and with each the author uncovers a piece of themselves, showing us a moment in their lives where they’ve overcome a tremendous obstacle, transformed, or changed for the better—and by doing so they allow us to peel back and examine a layer of our own soul.”

Rivedal will be doing promotional events, book signings, and speeches with The i’Mpossible Project... which is available for pre-order September 16, and full release January 13, 2016 in paperback at major retailers and at www.iampossibleproject.com/one (ISBN 978-0-9860964-9-5); and as an e-book at iBooks, Kobo, and Barnes&Noble (ISBN 978-0-9860964-8-8).
