Quote from
Richard Carlson
(author of
Slowing Down to the Speed of Life)
“The principles presented in this book
are simple but remarkably profound. They speak to how
teenagers can be happy, even when their circumstances are not.
And they help explain the larger, sometimes confusing world to
children in a gentle way that empowers youth to tap into their own
light and make things better. A life-changing read”
