Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me This Stuff?

By Dr Jack O'Mara

Have you ever wondered, "What the hell am I doing with my life, my job, and my future?" I did. Finally, I decided to change where I was heading and turned a glum future into a very bright one, culminating with a Rose Garden ceremony with the President of the United States.

While I can't promise that outcome, I can promise this book will help you find your own personal MAGIC and a step-by-step plan to change your life. I've included life-altering suggestions from a personal think tank of contributors including: a brain surgeon, a beautician, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a U.S. President, a professional triathlete, and a Sufi whirling dervish (really), who will turn your head with clear thinking about life.

"This book is great. As a dad, I went over parts of it with my post college-age sons. The sections on goal setting and finance were a perfect way to engage them in thoughtful discussions about their future plans. As a coach, I found it invaluable to use the lessons about Motivation and Commitment to challenge my football team to give me their personal best." Coach Ted F.

As one mom shared, "I wish I knew this stuff when I was twenty. It would have saved me years of pain, heartache, and a train-wreck marriage. I hope that mothers and daughters can read this together and shorten that often painful life-lesson curve for both of them."
