How to Become a Strong Person and Build a Good Life

By James Wegert

"Using the tools in this book can help a person to build a good life." Using his education and over twenty-five years of experience working with youth, including eleven years as a school counselor, Wegert wrote How to Become a Strong Person and Build a Good Life in a down-to earth encouraging manner for students age twelve and up*. The book helps students develop the tools (character, attitude, responsibility, effort, and self-control) that they need in order to be more successful academically, personally, and socially. It also explains how to use these five tools to build a good life by dealing with negative people in a positive way and by making good choices through respect for your job (which for young people is to be a student), others, and yourself. 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 fifteen 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. Wegert's latest book, written for students age seven through eleven, is entitled "JIMMY - from a bullied boy to a school counselor on a mission to help students learn how to respect others". It is a half chapter book and half self-help book that clearly explains how to respect others (even others who are disrespectful to you) and how respecting others helps you to have a good life.
