Description: I Dont Want To Grow Up: Life, Liberty, and Happiness. Without a Career. (Nature Description Product Description America’s bestselling author of Wilderness, The Gateway to the Soul and Nature’s Silent Message offers a glimpse into his childhood of skateboarding, high school brawls, and early trials and tribulations with money and success. The scenery may be different, but the writing style is business as usual, with life lessons cruising a mile a minute in this insightful read about what it means to never grow up.“What do you want to be when you grow up?”We’ve been asked this question over and over, practically since the day we could walk. Many of us have absolutely no idea. We never have and we never will. This bothers us terribly, and on a profound level. We feel useless, disconnected, scattered, unfocused. If we could just make up our minds—about something, about anything!What if you didn’t have to grow up? Society would like us to believe that to be happy, we need successful careers. But let’s face it—we’re not all meant to be doctors, lawyers, scientists, and accountants. Some are meant to be dreamers. The people on the fringes of society who don’t necessarily subscribe to the modern version of the American Dream. Artists, adrenaline junkies, nomads, life seekers. Those who doubt conventional wisdom, question authority, and continually search for newer, better ways to live. The world needs freaks—now more than before has there been such an opportunity to live the life of your dreams. Never before have there been so many ways to earn an income. Never before have there been so many ways to have fun! What do you want to you don't grow up? From the Author My fellow readers... At first glance, this book may appear as a departure from my nature writing. Upon reading it however, I'm confident you will find it is not. As you might know by now, I find it impossible to discuss any matter without also discussing nature. We are inseparable. So here you go--another nature book. Part memoir, part philosophy, part how-to, part prayer for a better future--but a nature book, nonetheless. You will find it different, yet the same. My sincere hope is that it finds its way into the hands of someone who's suffering. Struggling to find their place in this crazy world. Struggling to grow up. If it helps a single person, I'll consider it a success. Thanks for allowing me this opportunity. Thanks for your continued support. My gratitude is boundless. Scott Stillman St. Somewhere, USA Excerpt from Chapter 1 Being Born "When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life." -John Lennon The Freaks Some believe in life after death. I believe in life after birth. And if there is a heaven, it resides here--on Earth--not in some faraway galaxy in our imaginations, or if you are good enough, or if Jesus loves you enough, or if you save enough money, or if you are successful. Heaven exists for us all--because we were born here. When we came into being for the first time, in our mother's womb, we floated in ecstasy. We were warm, well-fed, and taken care of--we had everything we needed. Then one day we were born, and our eyes opened up to a whole new and even greater world--albeit scary at first. But once we adjusted, our eyes opened wide with wonder and amazement. Our natural state was one of awe. Everything around us moved with life and sparkling energy. Colors were vivid. And the shapes. The sounds! Overwhelmed we were with feelings of joy, delight, fear, and curiosity. Everything was so big and exciting and scary and wonderful. Of course, we couldn't say a word of this to other humans, so we tried to communicate through feeling and with our eyes, but they just couldn't understand, and we couldn't understand why. What we wanted so desperately to say we had no words for--and still have no words for--because what we were experiencing was pure feeling. Payment We accept all major credit cards and PayPal.
