Overcoming the generation gap

• Adolescence: Possibly the stage in life which needs most guidance and advice.

• A phase full of doubts and uncertainties; when, however, vital decisions must be made for the future.

This is a book for adults to know about and understand the new generations and so that young people are capable of doing the same with older generations. It explains what should be known about adolescents and the family, their friends, studies, and the search for work, about drugs, sexuality and ethical and moral values.

The author presents us with a lifestyle which encourages the overcoming of the generation gap.  To walk firmly along the fruitful road of understanding and tolerance; and in this way to be able to create and maintain an atmosphere of friendship and collaboration between young people and adults.

It is in our nature, as men, to love all kinds of achievements and competitions that would bring us recognition. Choosing a new target every day, setting a new goal for the next, it all breeds satisfaction and helps us overcome feelings of inadequacy. It strengthens our sense of self and our identity. It is this constant pursuit that gives meaning to a man's life, driving abundance and happiness along the way.

Then, when a man becomes a father, he enters a new stage of life with the inescapable excitement of an athlete competing for the first time in the Olympics. Completely unaware that no other competition throughout his entire life will test his limits more than this one, he steps into the arena not knowing that this ultramarathon will change him irreversibly, in so many and unexpected ways. The once “Iron Man” will gradually “melt” beyond his imagination, but once the process starts, he will feel increasingly ashamed of his old self and more in love with his new vision and his new life.

We hereby invite you to sit back, relax, and allow yourself to be captivated by this collection of insights, scientific findings, sound logical inferences, and powerful stories. Let it fulfill our audacious mission of rediscovering the meaning of fatherhood!
