I have written a book called “Don’t say I never told you.” it was spurred on by the sudden death of a friend, who was younger and fitter than myself. I realised it could happen to me and my daughters would not be able to phone me for advice. This book has short pieces of advice aimed at my millennial daughters, with also any millennial reader who has yet to hit 40. It contains advice on a wide variety of topics that you will face.
Over the years I have had many old wise mentors and this book is a collection of their advice along with my observations.
The past has great lessons to offer. Whilst technology and the evolving pace of change may lead millennials to thinking that what is ahead of them is unique. In fact, it has all happened before. The problems such as:
- buying your first home
- buying your first car
- finding a life partner worth keeping
- handling a tyrant of a boss
- finding the right job for you
- having a resilient career
- managing people
- being effective with your time
- handling anger
- developing skills that further your career
- having hobbies and interests that provide you with a safe haven
- how to avoid being sold a pup when going for a job
- how to be calm in a crisis
have all been successfully overcome by many wise people who are now dead or certainly too old to be involved in Twitter feeds, blogs, Instagram.
