What's Your Life Trying To Teach You?
23 Essential Life Lessons to Become Your Best Self
by J. Ian Henderson


Life is a school. And to those dedicated to lifetime learning, class is never out. Our short time on planet earth is brimming with opportunities to become our best selves. It doesn’t matter who we are, where we are, or whatever we are doing, we are all subject to essential life lessons; it is a criteria for being a card-carrying member of the human race,” says author J. Ian Henderson. “No one is exempt.” What’s Your Life Trying to Teach You? brings together a blend of storytelling, wit, and wisdom. This self-help guide mines a depth of experts on topics ranging from gratitude to grief and offers practical exercises and quotes from thinkers including Billy Graham and Mark Twain as well as humorists George Carlin and Robin Williams. With more than five decades experience in facilitating personal and professional development workshops, Henderson’s aim is to connect with the world of lifetime learners interested in personal growth as an ongoing adventure. Often, that means breaking out of personal comfort zones and embracing the fact that growth can be messy and even a little uncomfortable. The reward of this lifetime journey is becoming the best versions of ourselves—not perfect, just best—on a daily basis.
