Demma's guide offers actionable ideas to help young people keep faith in their dreams even when those around them lose theirs. He reveals pathways that can help bring dreams to life and empower you to be the best version of yourself. Empty Your Backpack is an easy-to-follow guide filled with tried-and-tested principles and inspiring stories from Demma's remarkable life that will help you optimize your beliefs and actions to get you where you want to be.

wonderful book

This book offers great perspectives on life events and how to remove judgements. remove self doubt and be more confident about yourself. listen with an open mind and to learn new philosophies of life.

Taco-Bout a life sparking book for young (and adult) minds. This Book Should Be in Every High School Curriculum

I meant every word in that title. This book belongs in every high school across the country. It’s also one that every adult should read, especially those whose inner dreamer dimmed somewhere between high school and their early twenties.

This isn’t just a book. It’s mind fertilizer. The kind that awakens something dormant, something ready to come alive with the right spark. For students, it’s the kind of message that can shift a path entirely. For adults, it’s a reminder of what’s still possible.

If there were a way to have Sam speak at my stepson’s graduation here in Northern Canada, I’d put it on my line of credit today. That’s how deeply I believe in the impact of this book.

What makes it so powerful isn’t that the ideas are brand new, it’s that they’re delivered with such clarity, honesty, and connection. It bridges the gap between dreaming and doing, between compassion and courage, and between who we are and who we could be.

Motivating and Inspiring.

Empty the backpack was a great way to channel your energy and SCA—- small consistent actions—- little steps to achieve a legacy, one step at a time. Changing the world one little piece at a time. Serve others.

so supportive!

it doesn't matter your age or situation, this book is helpful. He has managed to master Nathan Hill's Think and Grow Rich. letting go of the baggage we aren't even aware we carry frees you to be what you want to be and Sam lays out the how's and whys of being a positive human being to bring the changes you want as an individual and the changes we need as a society. Small Consistent Actions can move mountains. thank you for writing this book.

Loved it! A great read, especially for high schoolers and young adults.

The author, Sam Demma, is one of the youngest professional speakers in North America, and he’s a very compelling speaker who connects well with young adults. This book does the same: it offers connection. It compels young adults to consider what beliefs they want to carry through life, and it encourages readers to take small consistent actions in order to make their dreams a reality. As a full-time high school teacher in Colorado, I highly recommend this book, and I hope one day I get to see this author speak on stage in person. He’s a world traveler and a positive influence on youth and in the world at large. He’s a rising star and I give his book five stars. Give this book to a loved one as a X-Mas gift, especially if they’re a young adult struggling to find their place in this world! I’m currently finishing the audio version of this book on Audible, and loving it.

Chapter 11

Excellent book based on real world problems and solutions in all situations!! Thank you Sam for the eye opening conversation

The clarity and steps to succeed

This book is excellent for everyone. It outlines steps to make life changes toward achieving success!

my cup is full

This book is filled with great nuggets of joy, hope, love, and kindness. I will be encouraging my school coworkers and students to read it, and I have been considering even offering a book club at our school. We are going device free at the school, and these kids could benefit from knowing what to take out of their backpack and what to put back in. I especially love the author's dedication to everything he does. Small, consistent actions is very doable, but the mindset it takes to follow through on your plan is something a lot of us struggle with or don't have. The book is inspiring and offers takeaways at every chapter. You had me at tacos! 🌮🌮 ❤️ BUY THE BOOK!!!
