It's a blessing in disguise for me, born in Ireland to Indian parents, and now living in the U.S., that life has taken me on a ride with the current challenges kids have.

In this book, I also connect my learnings and motivation to several external mediums like books that I would have read, movies I would have seen, teachers who made a long-standing impression, and countries I traveled. I have packaged goodness, and from the exposures I have had as into tool kit that you can use to raise your positive vibrations and bring calmness, reducing anxiety.In this book, I share the journey I have experienced personally over the last five years. Each of us has a story and each story has a start, middle, and end. It's that middle part that varies in each one's life and the series of consequences of our experiences and actions that vary too. This book can bring any kid faith, hope, and reassurance. This book is for any kid who wants to create a positive change in their life. If they're stressed out, anxious, fearful, stuck, or simply ready to become more positive, this book is for them. If they have the slightest willingness to get positive vibes, this book is for you.
