I can say that if you're a parent of a teen or young adult or you are a young adult, you will benefit from reading this book, whether you are a Humanist or not. I can also say that I can almost guarantee that everyone in this world probably wishes that everyone else acted like a Humanist. The advice for life that the author gives in this book is common sense and practical. It's advice that will make you happier, stronger, avoid heartache, or else deal with it wisely when it comes your way. - - Gena Lazcano, Christian Mom Blogger Thanks so much for this for its full of lots of good information that I believe is going to be useful to our group. - Bwambale Roberts, Director, Kasese United Humanist Association and the Kasese United Humanist Primary School, Uganda Thank you again for your book. Your work will keep playing a part in making my life and the life of my students better. - Lieutenant-Colonel Sylvain Beauséjour - Royal Military College of Canada I've only just begun to share the wisdom of this book with my Youth Group in church. But, already, it's wisdom and clarity of thought are giving us much to consider and explore. I look forward to much more discussion and definition with my Youth... I love this book - B. Pelham Jen never tries to speak universally. She speaks for herself, clearly and informally, thinking out loud about decision making, simplicity, honesty, body ethics, sex, vibrators, relationships, addiction, self-image, pooping, death, and more. Her own thoughts are salted with quotes from Bertrand Russell to Britney Spears, including some keepers I hadn't seen before. The net effect is a conversation about everything with an intelligent, unpretentious friend. - Dale McGowan - Parenting Beyond Belief
