      Announcing Five Things I Know

      Most books of life advice tell you what to do. Five Things I Know tells you what not to do. Compressed down to five easy-to-remember nuggets of wisdom, this book does more in 50 pages than most do in hundreds. Originally delivered as the 2013 graduation address at Concord Academy — right up the street from the Concord Free Press — Five Things I Know became widely quoted (and mis-quoted) in conversations, online, and beyond.

      Now it’s our tenth book, and we’re proud to be publishing it in a beautifully designed, limited edition chapbook — distributed through churches, at-risk teen centers, bookstores, and online requests.

      This wise, resonant, and funny collection of advice gives readers plenty to think about – from falling buildings to rattlesnakes to psilocybin mushrooms. Are you ready for the Nine Magic Words That Could Change the World?
