Riassunto:

This book contains lessons consisting of a two-page spread: centered on the left hand page is a memorable quote from a celebrity or historical figure which states the point in a nutshell, and the right hand page contains the lesson itself. There is frequently a story or other illustration to elucidate the point.

We all make stupid mistakes as teenagers; my own son Drew was no exception. As he progressed through high school, I sometimes thought his behavior must be plainly foolish to anyone with a normal brain. But I tried not to hold it against himhaving spent 14 years with teenagers as a teacher and principal, I knew that they don't have a normal brain.

Does the sentiment "I wish I knew then what I know now" sound familiar? I wrote this book so that a young person making the transition to adulthood can have a wise and trusty companion, a resource of friendly advice to make the road a little smoother.
