About the Book

Teenagers have more potential than they realize. Our schools are not helping them “learn how to learn.”

This book will help them:

  • learn to express themselves.
  • discover a quiet faith and confidence.
  • learn to think and act on the value of their own thinking.
  • learn, like an Olympic athlete, how to focus on their greatest enthusiasm.
  • become more interesting to themselves and to others, because of their growing interest in many things.
  • find self-respect by accepting responsibility.

 

Richard Eastman provides a one-hour a day plan that gives teenagers the time to develop their leadership skills while discovering how to take the lead in their own education. This book is a must-read for concerned parents and educators that follows a home truth about what education really is: it’s not about fixing a system, but about changing one mind at a time.

 


About the Author

Richard Eastman as a teenager lived a life that few could imagine. He finished only half of the seventh grade and none of the eighth grade. He left home at the age of fourteen. Later as a Youth Counselor he claimed to be the “Worlds Best Listener.”

 

Richard believes “Learning” is an adventure if you invent and design your own class. He thinks if students wait for a teacher to teach, their education will be a disaster. Emerson said, “Most people live in quiet desperation.”  Life without the excitement of learning becomes one television show after another. Teenagers must have at least one-hour each day to write a script of their own show...their own life.
