Do you remember how easy life was when you were a child?  How happy and carefree your days were?  Do you remember a time when a stressful decision was deciding whether to ride your bike around the block or join a game of hide-and-seek with the neighborhood kids? In “Escape Adulthood”, Jason Kotecki invites you to remember your childhood and use some of the simple principles we, as children, followed in order to simplify and de-stress your adult life. 

Drawing on real-world examples, inspirational quotes and funny anecdotes, Mr. Kotecki takes us back to a simpler time to remind us that we all still have those childhood principles inside us.  The author also uses whimsical cartoons from Kim and Jason, his internationally known comic strip, to help illustrate our often forgotten childhood logic.  Chapters include; Get Curious, Play, Dream Big and Delight in the Little Things.  Advice to help overworked people relax and have fun includes everything from ordering dessert first to never giving up on your dreams.  Tips at the end of each chapter place much needed advice for the stress-laden adult right at your fingertips.

This easy to read, lighthearted book delivers just what it promises; Simple strategies to follow to let the child inside you guide you to a stress-free adulthood.  I recommend it to all adults who long for a second childhood.
