Here is a good man’s canny advice to teenagers and young adults — advice that shows them how to deal with the practical problems faced by all those who strive to live their lives nobly and well.They’ll learn how to discipline their imagination so it won’t lead them astray; how to tell the critical difference between pleasure and happiness; and how to strengthen their will to ensure that they always choose the good.Without condescension, Fr. Garesché shows young people how to maintain a healthy mind, resist temptations, grow temperate, practice fortitude, think kindly of others, and choose worthwhile amusements.
