Uncertainty. Vulnerability. Death. Hard Truths have a secret power over us: We'd rather ignore them. Like a virus in our mental software, they operate on the seams that bind the rational and the emotional, and that's where they trap us. By running away we become their slaves. Only by accepting them can we become free.

This book is an attempt to help you confront these realities of life. It catalogues some of the most universally known but universally resisted Hard Truths in a fun and non-threatening format. Like a pre-flight checklist, it will help you review these truths whenever you need to. Accepting them fully? That's entirely up to you.
A perfect graduation gift, the book features:
  • 16 Hard Truths
  • 16 Gorgeous Illustrations
  • 48 Self-Evaluation Questions
  • 17 Recommended Books & Talks

From the Author:
I wrote The Book of Hard Truths it because I believe that only by fully accepting the unpleasant facts of life can we be free to truly live. Together with John Cox, the best illustrator I know, I wanted to create a book of visual art that carried home the painful lessons of life that were holding myself and others back. A sort of trap, if you will, to lure us in and encourage us to face the truths we'd rather ignore. To help us find "...the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
