"If I'd only known then
what I know now ..."

How many times have you said that? It's true; we all suffer through a bunch of headaches and heartaches in our early years ... troubles and bad times that could easily have been avoided had we known the stuff we had to learn the hard way between then and now.

Don't you wish someone would have told you about life while you were still young? It's not hard. There are no "secrets" of success and happiness — just some simple, practical knowledge that leads to a richer, more abundant life.

Some young guy in your life needs you now. You can help make a difference in his. He needs you because he's being taught to be a magical thinker; to believe that someday, somehow, he'll find himself in the midst of whatever dream he has for his life. The reality is this ... if that doesn't change, it's not likely that he'll have any dreams come true. Instead, he'll someday be saying the same thing: "I wish I would have known ..."

Most of the problems and limitations that make life difficult and unpleasant arise from the same thing — self-esteem issues. That's a common result of childhood upbringing during one's first ten years of life. Today's new cognitive psychology makes that easy to understand, accept and overcome.

Mind Over Monster is a book for boys age ten through eighteen. When you want to give a gift that is sure to make a difference in your special boy's life, it's available here and through book sellers everywhere.
