 ABOUT
THE BOOK:
“Heroes are made not born.”
proclaims Scott H. Silverman,
CNN Hero Award Recipient.
Part memoir, part how to, Tell Me No I Dare You!
is 100% inspiration. The book takes the reader on a joyful ride
infused with laugh-out-loud humor, accounts that bring tears of
sorrow and the promise of hope. It leaves one with the desire to
meet the author, look in his eyes and shout, “Go ahead, tell
me no. I dare you!”
Tell Me No. I Dare You! is the story of a young
boy, who began the path of self destruction and rebellion before
he was in high school. As the path grew it became littered
with drug and alcohol addiction, crazy dare devil risks,
attempted suicide and an inner knowing that somewhere he could
locate the
yes that labels, institutions, and his own beliefs
attempted to obliterate. Somewhere he could find the hero he was
meant to be.
Through the streets of Turkey, Israel, Amsterdam and the deserts
of southern California the story is told of how one man found
the courage to live up to his highest potential and live from a
place of inner confidence not shame. Connect to the hero within
as you take on the challenge to turn the no's that
suffocate your life and turn them into action filled yes’s!
This inspiring book will encourage you to achieve success, make
the needed changes that are limiting you and become a hero in
your own life!
Tell Me No I
Dare You! was recently awarded an "honorable mention" in

“Finally, a book that cares about you,
the reader! 'Tell Me No. I Dare You!' is not to be read,
but experienced. This book is honest, powerful and helpful.
Scott went from Hell Boy to CNN Hero and through his journey
discovers reality, consequences and respect. He shows us that
'Yes' beats in each and every heart on this planet and following
its path leads to discovery of our true calling, potential and
worth. Don't take 'No' for an answer anymore. Read this book and
find your 'Yes'.” Skip Weitzen

5 Stars! This book can change your life!
"I was hooked within just a few pages, with my life changed
for the better by the end of the book! I gobbled it up like
popcorn. Scott takes you on a bravely candid and deeply personal
journey that is sure to be inspirational to those who've
experienced their share of life's rocky road. And for everyone
else? It will be absolutely fascinating...and no less
inspirational. "Tell me no. I dare you!" is a must-read for
anyone who's ever thought "it can't be done" or "I'm not smart
enough" or even "how can one person make a difference?" Well,
you'll quickly learn from someone who's "been there, done that"
and facing seemingly insurmountably bad odds, that finding your
"yes" just might be where you find your purpose. Scott certainly
found his in spades. Just ask the thousands of lives he's
touched. Read the book. Hope, love, and a better life can be
yours, too...and who knows? Maybe your "yes" will lead you on
the journey of a lifetime, too. Humanity is waiting..."
