Written for teenagers and young adults who feel like they have to grow up and leave their childhood behind.
After many years of planting my feet firmly in reality, I realized the world was a lot like a supervillain - it tries to beat the childlike qualities out of each one of us. The wonder, the fun, the make-believe, excitement, and enthusiasm, everything that makes kids kids! This book is all about using what brought us joy when we were younger as a tool to find happiness in adulthood. I use comic books and superheroes as an example of how I have framed my life, found happiness, and gained an understanding of the world. I challenge the world’s definition of “maturity” and break down the classic superhero origin story as a template to help others find their superpowers, convictions, and reasons to suit up and fight another day.
