Let your haters be your motivators, your escalators, and your elevators.

Author Adam Harris has learned how to turn even the worst of circumstances into a stepping-stone toward better days. And in his honest and inspiring guide to life, Adam’s L.A.W., he shares the wisdom he’s gained from difficult experiences that include losing his dad and the time he almost dropped out of college.

While the lessons included in this book are simple, their impact is far-reaching. Learn how serving others can help you discover your own gifts and talents and how forgiveness can allow you to move ahead in life. You can’t sidestep difficulty and pain, but when you choose to view hard times as training exercises, you can use them to your advantage rather than letting them stop your progress.

You are valuable and unique-and the world needs you! Be yourself; stand up to adversity, pain, fear, and loneliness; hold on to hope; and start experiencing a better life today.
