Читать книгу Enjoy Being Proud of Who You Are: 52 Inspirational Life-Skills Messages for Teenagers - Peter Nicholls - Страница 4

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK:

In this 21st century frenetic lifestyle era, teenagers are crying out for help in how to prepare and cope with the impending jungle of adulthood. This is evidenced in the appalling growth – worldwide - in the incidence of teenage depression and suicide. I was amazed and appalled at the precious little I found written specifically for teenagers on life-skills messages of the type contained in this book.

Forty years of working professionally in recreation and sport development has given me extensive insight into

•positive behaviour by people of all ages and backgrounds enjoying their favourite leisure and recreational pursuits

•the passions, talents and unique potential that drive people to achieve great things in their lives.

This, plus having been blessed with the gift of listening, the passion for writing and the wisdom not to judge, have given me a sound basis on which to build my lifestyle mentoring business.

Life-skills are timeless attributes, of value to people of all ages and backgrounds. Now in my 70’s, the grandparent in me inspired me to pass something of the flame of my life’s marathon to the youth of the world, encapsulated in the title of this book:

“Enjoy Being Proud of Who You Are”.
