Praise for the Author
“In a world of automation, authenticity is your advantage.”
The more artificial our world becomes, the more human you must be. Your handwriting, your voice, your empathy — those are competitive edges now. People crave real, and real is rare.
“Technology turns our focus inward. Notes turn it outward.”
Social media asks, What can I post?
Note writing asks, Who can I lift?
Every note reverses the algorithm — it pulls you out of your own feed and into someone else’s world.
“Technology keeps us connected — but not close.”
We scroll, swipe, and text all day, yet rarely look someone in the eye. Handwritten notes slow us down long enough to remember what real closeness feels like — the kind that can’t be charged overnight.
“The fastest way to feel better is to stop thinking about yourself.”
When life feels heavy, look outward. Think of one person you can encourage, thank, or notice — and write to them. Gratitude reroutes the brain. Serving others is self-care in disguise.
“The most magnetic people are the ones who make others feel seen.”
You don’t need charm, status, or perfect words — just genuine attention. People light up when they feel noticed for who they are, not what they can do for you. Sincerity is what makes presence unforgettable.
“The simplest way to lead is to lift.”
Leadership isn’t about having followers; it’s about leaving people stronger than you found them. When you make others feel capable and seen, you create momentum that outlasts any title or goal.
Reviews
“Carrie Pierce in her engaging, informative Handwritten Notes has reawakened in me that joy of taking time to do that little extra that can make such a difference in improving personal relationships at home and at work. I highly recommend her book.”
— Charles Levin, #1 Bestselling Author of the NOT SO DEAD Series
“The book is very well written and the stories and examples balance out Handwritten Notes so it does not feel like a textbook."
— Asher Sayed, Reader’s Favorite
“Handwritten Notes teaches by example, including reflections on Carnegie and others whose approaches fulfilled the goal of creating and fostering authentic connection. It also considers the long-term effects of isolation created by reliance on devices and technology over personal interactions, including case histories of disparate individuals. These include the author’s own father, whose health and psyche was heavily impacted by the distance created by COVID isolation.”
—Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
