Book Title: The Belief Roadmap: How to know yourself better and create personal philosophies to guide the way to the life of your dreams

Author’s Name: Matt Gersper and Kaileen Elise Sues

The Belief Roadmap is a book about creating personal philosophies and guiding yourself to the life of your dreams. The book will help readers access their inner wisdom, get clear on their personal beliefs, and then use those beliefs as a roadmap for life.

The goal of the book cover is to "pop off the shelf" as a small thumbnail on the Amazon platform, as well as a book measuring 5.5 x 8.5 with a 0.72” spine.

The design should be simple, bold, and eye-catching. The imagery should make the viewer feel inspired – and as if reading the book will give them the knowledge and motivation to achieve their dreams.

It’s important the book catches the eye and stands out in the crowded self-help category. We are looking for a design that sells, not something that just looks pretty. It is crucial that the book design is polished and engaging.

We are open to any imagery or illustration you choose. Here are a few words that come to mind when thinking of our book: inspiration, action, goals, growth, passion, motivation, dreams, success, clarity, and fulfillment.

We like a bold color palette that evokes joy, happiness, and success. We like it when book titles stand out and it is clear what the book is about right away.

We like the covers for the following titles: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, Life and Other Near-Death Experiences by Camille Pagán, Conscious Loving Ever After by Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks, Illuminae by Amie Kaufman, and Mindset by Tarun Lucas.

Note that on the back cover we would like the ISBN and the Happy Living logo on the bottom.
