Contest closed! Thanks for entering, everyone!
My next eBook, Roots, will be released on July 26th, 2011.
Why that date? It’s high time the book came out, I think, but it also comes shortly after the last day of the contest I’m about to announce below.
You heard that correctly. Contest time! In celebration of the release, I’ve put together a few different packages of books in theme with the new direction of the site. Want to win a copy of Roots (and some other sweet prizes)? You’re in luck! Read on for more details.
The Contest Rules
Big shock: I like to keep it simple.
If you want to toss your name in the hat, leave a comment below. That’s it!
If you’d prefer to up your chances, however, you have a few opportunities available to you:
1. Retweet this post to your followers (and link to the tweet in your comment so I know, okay?).
2. Stumble it! And let me know so I can verify and throw your name in the hat again.
Short and sweet, right? I’d like word of this giveaway to spread as far as possible, so any and all help in that regard is hugely appreciated.
The Prizes
Here’s the fun part!
Grand Prize: One copy of Roots, one copy of my good friend David Damron’s kick-your-ass-and-get-things-done guide, Destination X, and a signed copy of the Perfect Health Diet.
That last one is an incredible perk. Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet were generous enough to provide a copy, for one, but the book itself is by far my favorite health and nutrition book currently available. It covers Paleo with none of the dogma and all of the science, which I enjoy, and the authors have done incredible work on their blog since it launched. Thanks, you two!
First Place: One copy of Roots, one copy of Destination X, and an Amazon Kindle (eBook, in other words) version of The Primal Blueprint. The Blueprint is my other favorite health and nutrition book, especially since it introduced me to the miraculous world of Paleo, so it gives me great pleasure to offer a copy here.
Second Place: A copy of Roots! And much love and generosity all around. (That last prize has no cash value, I’m afraid).
Good stuff all around, I think, no matter which category you might fall in.
How This All Works
At midnight on July 20th, 2011, the contest will close. Before then, you’re welcome to leave a comment (or do one of the other things listed above) one time to put your name in the hat. At the end of the contest, I’ll draw three names, distribute the prize packages randomly, and announce the winners here.
Again: I like to keep it simple.
So what are you waiting for? Start commenting! And please help me spread the word of this post so that the release of Roots becomes more exciting than ever before. And who knows? If enough people enter the contest (let’s say…100?), I might toss in a few additional prizes, too.
What are they? You’ll have to wait and find out, won’t you?
Get entering! And stick around through next week. With Roots out and a new direction for Three New Leaves firmly decided upon, the fun really begins.

Thanks for all you do (and don’t do, minimalistically speaking)! Put me in the hat. After 6 weeks of Primal, I look and feel 1000% better. And then I found your blog. What a great life a caveman lives!!

My simple entry!
I’ve just recently started looking into Paleo nutrition and I’m thinking it may be the way to go for me. Great contest and great site update!

Hi Matt… I’m very intrigued by this Paleo lifestyle you speak of. I’ve heard of it before, but never seen it in practice.
Thanks for your great example!
