TAKE YOUR TIME & HURRY UP

 

  

Author : Joey Kidney

Publisher: Penguin

Genre: Non -fiction

TAKE YOUR TIME & HURRY UP- Means that you can spend as much time as you need in doing something, or that you should slow down. Don't rush. People use this expression to let someone politely know that there is no need to hurry.

With the apt title itself the author gently encourages his audience to find comfort, mindfulness, guidance and connection. A clear theme is woven through each passage: a reminder to slow down. After all, what’s the rush.

The font and the colour of the book cover is amazing and that works as a sign of indication of the contents of the book. In less than 200 pages the author engages the readers with his lucid writing style along with short and crisp poetry on Love, life and loss.

Author of this book JOEY KIDNEY is a social media star who uses his self-titled channels to inspire others to find their own happiness in their everyday lives.

Book dedications is a usual process carried out during the publishing of a book and they are about expressing gratitude. Authors often include a dedication to acknowledge the person or people who inspired the book or to thank someone who supported them during the writing process. Some authors dedicate a book to the memory of a loved one or to a cause or idea.. Some authors will dedicate a book to their readers or to an author who inspired them, even if that author is no longer around.

 But here in this book, the author has left the page blank and asked the readers to dedicate it to someone who will be benefitted from the book. This is a unique gesture which will make the author stand out as he extends his support through this book for all those who are in the transition period of teens to adult.

 The author has dealt with almost all the issues which the Young adults may experience,  like a great deal of shame, problems with self-esteem, withdrawing from social connections, an unwillingness to try at anything (work, school, etc.), depression, anxiety, substance use, and even total isolation.

 The flow of the book is smooth and it is truly designed in sync with the target readers. The book in a friendly way assists the readers like an anchor to navigate their sail into adulthood. A person may be experiencing great difficulty (disorganization, denial, anxiety, panic attacks, etc.) and may not seem to be able to make a healthy transition to adulthood. This is usually because they have not been able to develop the necessary emotional, socio-emotional and psychological tools. At this juncture, continuing the habit of reading, widely, into their teenage years helps teens to: deal with their increasingly complex world and understand some of the adult issues they will have to grapple with. Know they are not alone — others may be thinking and feeling the way they do.

Many people believe that adolescence is a difficult time in a child's development. But, this is not necessarily true. Many teenagers pass through their adolescent years smoothly and victoriously, passing into adulthood relatively unscathed. Still, there are many steps you can take to help your teenager and yourself make a seamless transition.

One will be to definitely read this book. Do buy a copy of the book here on Amazon.
