Nineteen-Year-Old Author Releases A New Book Benefiting Two International Nonprofits

Los Angeles, CA - Your Mailbox Is Full, a new book by life coach and leadership speaker Justin Sachs, is helping raise funds and awareness for two international nonprofit organizations serving our children and communities. The author features Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership and Kiwanis International after his books concluding chapter urges readers to volunteer for or financially support their cause. Sachs is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book to the nonprofits.


“The idea is that readers will finish the last few pages of my book and be inspired to make a greater difference in the world,” Sachs said. “Then they’ll turn the page and learn about nonprofits they can support in order to do just that.”


Your Mailbox Is Full is the first book in history that Kiwanis International and Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership have collectively benefited from. Your Mailbox Is Full is published by Motivational Press. The book is a page-turning self-help book for teenagers that gives them life-skills and leadership principles such as goal setting, time management, creating a life plan, and having self-confidence. The book is being compared to Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens and Success Strategies for Teens.


The book has also received a tremendous response from leaders in the personal development industry: “This book shows you how to take charge of your life and your emotions, set goals and determine your own direction in life,” said Brian Tracy, author of Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life.

“Your Mailbox Is Full is an extraordinary book that guides the reader to creating massive results in their lives. I have no doubt that this book will change the life of every teenager that reads it,” said Loral Langemeier, author of the national bestselling Millionaire Maker Series.

“Justin’s resounding passion to help the young generation makes this book a valuable tool for anyone who wants an extraordinary life. The content is relevant, to-the-point, and powerful,” said Kent Healy, co-author of The Success Principles for Teens and ’Cool Stuff’ They Should Teach in School.
