Lessons with Scars

By ROBERT GREGORY WAGONER

Life doesn't come with a manual, but it does come with stories, lessons, and the occasional banana peel.

In this laugh-out-loud yet deeply reflective collection, Robert Wagoner invites you to pull up a chair and hear the tales that shaped a lifetime of wisdom (and plenty of missteps). From childhood antics with shoplifted tape and questionable parenting strategies, to middle-age blunders with email, sunscreen spray, and reading glasses, to the heavier lessons of loss, love, and letting go. This book proves that wisdom isn't about having all the answers. It's about admitting when you don't, laughing along the way, and learning what really matters.

Blending humor, humility, and heartfelt storytelling, Robert delivers bite-sized lessons for every stage of life:
- Why "don't feed the trolls" applies far beyond the internet.
- How boredom might just be the best toy you can give your kids.
- Why retirement planning should start long before your knees give out.
- And how love, generosity, and family carry you through when life hits hardest.

Whether you're older, wiser, or just pretending to be, these stories will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even call your mom. Part comedy show, part life guide, and entirely relatable, this book proves the truth we all eventually discover: the older and wiser you get... the more you realize you're not.
