Overview
This book was written to demonstrate as a society, how self-absorbed we have become. How this self-absorption has affected our relationships at home and in life. How high school students have become consumed with instant gratification and have lost sight of selfless deeds. Social media is here to stay, and we must address the negative effects and lead our youth in a direction of selfless service. Thousands of children in schools across the country suffer from low self-esteem and this book will explain how we can improve a child’s opinion of themselves. This book will provide a plan and the path to seeing this accomplished.
