Gold Medal, Global Book Awards
Global Book Awards
August 15, 2024
Gold Medal Awarded in the Global Book Awards in the Category of Business Life.

In this modern age of publishing, books need to be appraised not only by their content and writing style, but also by the way they present and market themselves to the prospective buyer. Whether that is in its creative book cover design, its captivating book description, its strong ratings on important bookstores like Amazon, or even the number of reviews it has collected from its readers – they all count on how a book should be judged.

So, unlike most book award sites that depend on the views of a small panel of judges, we use much of the above criteria to decide on which books deserve to be award winners.

Recommended by the US Review of Books
The US Review of Books
June 19, 2024
The US Review of Books did a review of Passion Struck - "This book’s overwhelmingly positive encouragement will inspire readers to embrace change and openly pursue personal growth as well as the passions that help them blossom most. It offers them anecdotes such as “In a world where conformity is the norm, originality stands out like an impressive note no one else can match.” These anecdotes remind one that “nurturing original thinking starts within our own minds, particularly through positive self-talk.” Thus, it reminds readers that individuals possess the power to go forward and influence society for the better. Miles encourages an awareness of one’s emotional intelligence, making his book a valuable resource not only for individuals but also for workgroups and talent directors."
