FastPencil Releases New eBook From ‘Chicken Soup For The Soul’ Author

Digital publisher FastPencil has a new book out by self-help author Mark Victor Hansen and TV producer Bill Froehlich, as part of its FastPencil Premiere imprint.

The book is called U R the Solution and suggests self-empowerment and entrepreneurship as a way to address the recession. The guide includes seven stories tips on how to get the economy started again, and is told through stories of real people alongside fables, said Froehlich. The authors came up with the idea for the book at a resort in Desert Hot Springs, CA.

FastPencil released the eBook and the print version. The authors are big believers in digital books. “We decided that the whole future of the world is going to be digital because it is the fast and easy way to get books out to the world,” Hansen told eBookNewser.
