This generation of students who have grown up in the 21st century are the most social, the most empowered, and also the most anxious youth population in human history. If you are struggling to connect with and lead them, you are not alone. The latest research presented in this audiobook, however, illuminates a surprising reality: The success of the next generation doesn’t depend entirely on them. Their best chance of success starts when adults choose to believe in them, challenge them, and walk with them through the nine greatest challenges today’s youth will face.

Story
Despite the overwhelming amount of resources for time management and work-life balance, the ability to cultivate the efficiency and equilibrium needed to manage all our worthy pursuits can often feel frustratingly out of reach. The reason for our struggle is that productivity and time-management systems focus on individual habits rather than more meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes. But as it turns out, there is a better way to reach our full potential.

With all the conveniences of the modern world, it seems like people would be happier and more peaceful than ever before. In reality, it is the exact opposite. In fact, many people are struggling to manage depression and anxiety like never before. When chaos hits your life, it is tempting to feel condemnation and shame. But when you see the redeeming fingerprint of God in your life, you can boldly announce that the God—who healed, delivered, and set you free—will do it again!

Publisher's Summary
USA Today and Wall Street Journal best seller
Learn how life can be enhanced, how a corporate culture can be changed, how a family can be united - by living the simple lessons of a third-grade dropout.
We live in an era of low expectations. In fact, we tend to celebrate low expectations. The way in which we choose to live and work today is a far cry from the purposeful living of our parents.
Have we reached the point in our society where it is more important to look good rather than be good? Has the pride in doing good work been replaced by self-entitlement, perfect offices, and slick suits?
This book reacquaints listeners with the wisdom - the common sense that was practiced simply and unwittingly by those who represent a generation gone by:
- A generation that worked hard without complaining
- A generation that did whatever was necessary to support their families
- A generation that took pride in doing a good job
- A generation that had high expectations for themselves and the others they were responsible for
One such member of this generation was a third-grade dropout, a man who never hid behind any excuse. A man who never allowed his problems or lack of a formal education to determine his present or affect his future. A man who realized that destiny was a choice and not a chance.
This book communicates lessons from that man’s life - the kind of wisdom that is rare in society today. It’s the kind of wisdom that will help you be a better person, a greater leader, a more effective worker.
That man was Rick Rigsby’s father, and this book contains his impactful, far-reaching story - of how a life can be enhanced, of how a corporate culture can be changed, of how a family can be united - by living the simple lessons of a third-grade dropout.

I absolutely love this book!
This is an audio book that will need to be relistened over and over again. the key messages are so simple, yet easily forgotten and hard to apply. when the world is selling us the myth: live to impress, Rick reminds us to live to impact. That hardship isn't a reason to give up, but a journey to go through and become. highly recommend this book!
