How to Become a Strong Person and Build a Good Life

By James Wegert

"This book can help a person to build (create) a good life for themselves." Part chapter book, part self-help book, How to Become a Strong Person and Build a Good Life was written by a school counselor in a down-to earth encouraging manner to help people age 12 and up develop the tools (character, attitude, responsibility, effort, and self-control) that they need to have strong respect for their job (which for young people is to be a student), others, and themselves and to have a good life. Over seventy true short stories (some humorous, some sad, some gut-wrenching, some inspiring) bring the book to life and help to illustrate the main points. (Since about ten of these stories are intense/graphic, and are only appropriate for ages 15 and up, they have been placed in a special section near the back of the book.) The book can also be used by schools, parents, and grandparents as they model, teach, encourage, and positively reinforce respect. (Mr. W's latest book, written for students age 7 through 11, is entitled "JIMMY - from a bullied boy to a school counselor on a mission to help students learn how to respect others" is the prequel to this book. Just like this book, JIMMY clearly explains how to deal with disrespectful people in a respectful way and how respecting others makes it more likely that a person will have a good life.)
