Dragon Soul: 30 Years of Dragon Ball Fandom

An inspiring read, with many fascinating tales from several sectors of the fandom and the production team. It cheered me up whenever I've felt down these last two weeks, so I want to thank you for that.

As some of you may know, it's been 30 years since we were blessed with the now immensely popular Dragon Ball. While to some it may just be a weird Japanese show, to us fans it is a gateway into our wildest imaginations and greatest inspirations. Dragon Ball inspires people like us to be better, to work harder, to go through life knowing things will work out for the best. Unfortunately, apart from a variety of internet articles, blogs, and posts, there hasn't been much documentation on just how important Dragon Ball is in the world's society and culture. Until The Dao of Dragon Ball came along. In the book Dragon Soul, Dao of Dragon Ball founder Derek Padula showcases just how significant Dragon Ball's impact on the world is. Bringing in words from fans around the world, lessons that everyone can relate to, and more, the book does a fantastic job at answering the question many have asked to us fans: "Why do we like Dragon Ball?" Whether you're fond of the franchise, curious and willing to be introduced to it, or just looking for a good read, I highly recommend that you check out Dragon Soul. You're not just helping out the author by doing so; you're really helping the huge (and powerful) fan base around the world by entering the Dragon world and learning what it teaches. And the book has a few words from yours truly. So that's always nice. ;)

I can relate to some of these stories from one's who didn't had a good school life no matter what part of their school life it was. I would like to say that the Dragon Soul was most part of my life but it wasn't it was my great grandfather that I look up to when growing up before I got to be 12 but sadly he die when I was 13 with anger inside of me through my teen years so he wasn't there to help me through that but I can understand now he wanted me to be strong on my own to face my issues.
