Publisher's Synopsis
You could call these "nutritional snacks for the soul"...
Now is the critical time for Generation Z. The oldest have recently graduated from college or started a career, or are serving in the military. The youngest are entering middle school. They are about to take the stage. The 21st century will end up being their century - for better or worse.
Now is a critical time - for their lives and for our world! They will need all the wisdom we can give them... and the world needs them to have it.
NOW - Nuggets of Wisdom - for GEN Z is a useful and valuable gift you can give them for their times.
This is not another 200 page "how to unlock the secret power within you" self-help book. In a sense, it's not a "book" at all. It's 52 individual, timeless and timely NUGGETS OF WISDOM (NOW) that GEN Z, or anybody actually, will find useful and valuable now, today, tomorrow, or next week.
Short and easy to digest, each one contains profound wisdom for everyday life. Philosophical wisdom like "Never Wrestle With a Pig". Survival wisdom like "Mental Rehearsal". Financial wisdom like "Pay Yourself First". They are deep if you think about them, but they don't require much mental effort or time to process and take onboard... and they're easy to remember.
These are the kinds of useful lessons a grandparent might convey in everyday conversation with their grandkids. Each contains the essence of a thought or concept that the reader may choose to dive into more deeply. But if they don't, they'll likely remember the "Never wrestle with a pig!" rule and use it when it fits. That's valuable!
The thin paperback fits easily in a backpack, purse or pocket and is formatted to make digital capture and sharing easy (just take a picture of the page). The one-sided print format allows individual nuggets to be removed and stuck up on a wall, mirror, or wherever, helping the reader actually reflect on and retain the message. That's useful!
Warning: "NOW" could be habit forming... and that would be a good thing!
