Adults only know part of the world: written for you as a young person

For a long time, when adults have something to say to their children, they always hope that they will "obey" and "act accordingly." However, the author of this book is on the contrary. She reminds young people not to regard anyone's words as truth, because, " Every adult only lives one life."

There are always a large number of education books in the book market, full of expectations to mold children into a certain shape. These books are read by adults to each other. There are very few books that do not give answers and encourage children to explore. Publishing books is a matter for adults, in which it is difficult for teenagers and children to speak for themselves.

Due to the nature of his work, the author has many opportunities to interact with young people and has heard and seen many unhappy young people. Some unhappiness is necessary for growth, but most unhappiness (anxiety, depression, fear) is a direct impact of the adult values ​​​​of the entire society. However, these values ​​do not represent the entire world. Because most adults may not understand life. Restricting children to follow a path they think is right becomes a source of pain for each other.

The author hopes to speak out for these relatively disadvantaged young lives and write a book that talks to them from the perspective of children. "Is studying to make money?" "Will choosing the 'wrong' subject ruin your life?" The author hopes to take young readers to examine these concepts that immobilize them one by one, and whether they can stand the test.

"When ideas change, actions will change." The book repeatedly reminds readers that to resolve pain and face fears, we must start from the root cause. Many times we think that “it can only be this way” or “it has to be this way”, but this may not be the case. Growth means opening up and seeing more and more possibilities, rather than an increasingly narrow life.

The author asks young people to look at the adults around them, "Are they the person you want to be?" He also asks adults to think about themselves, "Do they know all the mysteries in the world?" If not, why should they limit themselves with any conclusions, and others?

Just like the author's first book "Becoming a Free Person" helped many people gain the confidence to move forward, this book is like the youth version of "Becoming a Free Person", leading readers to unlock anxiety and stress until they suddenly gain enlightenment.

Before writing the book, the author posted a questionnaire on the Internet, inviting people aged 12 to 22 to fill in, asking them about their "biggest worries or fears", "the moments when they feel most happy or happy", and "want to say something but dare not say it to them". What parents say" and so on, received more than 250 responses. The author said that the pain of young people is more severe than she expected. Less than 20% of them have a harmonious relationship with their parents, and several of them clearly express their hope to end their lives as soon as possible. This made her even more determined to write a book.

This book is not preachy. The author clearly stated in the preface that we should not trust any one person or book. A good book is here to help us think. The answer to everyone's life must be explored by themselves. Only by taking responsibility for your own life can you be truly powerful.
