1) As your children go off to college, or enter high school, it is important to send them with a reminder that character counts.

2) Inspiration helps people toward positive action. That is the core message in this book, complete with several personal anecdotes.

3) New Year's resolutions rarely stick. Why not give a book that shows the positive outcome of changes you choose and implement for yourself.

4) The book is short, sweet and to the point. The lessons are equally valid for teens to those who are retired; for men or women, boys or girls. These are lessons that can change lives for the good, and it is never too late to change.

5) The book is inexpensive. In today’s economy

Bonus Reason to Give this Book: All copies of the book will be signed by the author. A signed book is a wonderful gift for anyone.

Recently, my 12 year old son read Why Epiphanies Never Occur to Couch Potatoes for the first time. He knew about the book, but on his own he took a copy out of my library and read it in a few hours (it is a short book).  He told me in no uncertain terms that he liked the book and he knew several people at his school that should read it.

Almost every person who has contacted me after reading the book has been moved to laughter, tears, or to evaluate where they are in their own lives.

See for yourself.
