This book begins by affirming the importance of each person through poetry and physics. Why each person is important is explored through the perspectives of science and mathematics. This is followed by descriptions of how each person’s decisions affect his or her future, and how knowledge and attitude are the keys to making good decisions. Knowledge about the important topic of economics is addressed in detail. Knowledge of social issues is then presented. The book closes by addressing philosophical issues that will help steady the journey of their lives.
Mr. Bond conveys a wealth of practical information from life experiences in response to the urging of many of his high school students over the years. This is stuff like investing, higher education, personal relationships, and analysis of one's beliefs and values, that young people in his classes have wanted to discuss when they needed a break from intense calculus lectures. This book will help a young person consider the direction he wants his life to go, and how to build a life framework for success.
