Kent Healy and Kyle Healy are smart, savvy young men who are brothers. They have taken the pulse of the "real world" and identified that kids are not equipped for living in the "real world."
The practical tips and logical advice they dispense is nothing new. Most adults know how difficult it is to navigate the world and try to tell their children the "facts." But then we also know that most kids think they're smarter than their parents are. It isn't until much later in life that they realize the value of adult wisdom. And by that time it might be too late.
But we also know that kids listen to other kids (do we need to revisit peer pressure?). With that fact accepted, Cool Stuff They Should Teach in School becomes even more valuable since it's advice delivered by young adults for young adults.
Kent and Kyle Healy systematically navigate the do's and don'ts of important issues like success, attitude, goals and habits, peer pressure, finances, employment and the lost art of consideration, kindness and manners.
I'd like to adopt these guys. First they sound like really nice young men. Secondly, their entrepreneurial savvy will make them rich enough to take care of themselves in a grand style but also their parents.
But most importantly, Cool Stuff They Should Teach in School is a manual all kids should have. I thought society had lost the "vision." Thankfully it appears it's only been misplaced and Kent and Kyle are spearheading a movement to bring it back.
Armchair Interviews says...Parents: BUY this book and if the kids read it and get it, it might save society and everyone will thrive in the process!
