“In life, wisdom is often the hindsight we wish we had in our youth. ‘Lessons to my Younger Self’ offers valuable insights to guide the next generation.”
Congratulations to the author, #BOTD!
Life is a play where we are the actors and the audience, We laugh and cry, love and hate, create and destroy,
We seek to know ourselves and others, to belong and to be free, We accept what we can and change what we must.

Inspirational books in this format are far easier to read and retain information than text-heavy ones. The layout of this book delivers the messages exceptionally well.
