Life:101

By Paul D. Failla

The topics explored in Life:101 reflect the choices we make in our lives and the consequences of these choices. The book is suitable for a wide range of ages but essentially mirrors the programs the author delivers in schools from grades five through college and beyond. It encourages communication between parents and their children and teaches us that life presents some difficult challenges and moral compromises. Suggestions for navigating these issues are offered. Case studies are presented with the intent to get the readers to clarify their values and apply them to solving moral dilemmas. The book visits substance abuse through the eyes of the user and those who surround him. Technology and the cyber world are examined to include a discussion pertaining to social networking sites. Emphasis on social responsibility is a theme throughout the book as is character development, civility, and driver safety awareness. Bullying is addressed along with other topics such as risky behaviors, lifestage milestones, and role- modeling. A chapter describing ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary goals gives the reader a sense of self-motivation. The author has drawn upon life experience and historic events to complete this work.
