A person at thirty has spent ten years in bed and eighteen months eating. The challenge is neither of those; it’s figuring out how to deal with an overcrowded mind’s loud banging of pots and pans to navigate the rest. That’s where PORTABLE DAD comes in. PORTABLE DAD is a cut-to-the-chase life skills cram course to help young adults and crowded heads manage the noise, get and stay balanced, and trade uncertainty for practical smarts. Featuring more than 200 learning points, Ocean Palmer’s PORTABLE DAD (Stuff to know without the lecture) succinctly covers just about every head, heart, or interpersonal issue thrown at you. This is a timeless reference tool to help readers steer from shadows to sunlight today, tomorrow, and for a lifetime.
More specifically PORTABLE DAD is a fun, practical, and easy to understand coaching guide. It is the third in my life skills series (joining RICH WITHOUT MONEY and the internationally acclaimed MANAGING THE WORRY CIRCLE).
The book includes an expansive variety of 200+ valuable learning points with long-term life utility using quick stories and anecdotes instead of preachy pontifications. What you learn is instantly usable, so the takeaways and application of learning principles is immediate.
PORTABLE DAD covers a wide array of topics such as:
- How your head works.
- How your mind deals with various types of worry.
- How digital reliance impacts the mind.
- Why your head gets crowded, and how best to manage all the noise a crowded head creates.
- How to remain positive, upbeat, and self-motivated.
- Principles of behavior, including why people do (or do not do) things.
- How to deal with the emotional challenges of disappointments and setbacks in matters of the heart, business, and relationships.
- How we see ourselves versus how others see us (and how to handle the resulting disjoints).
- Happiness and optimism versus cynicism and pessimism.
- The smartest and quickest way to build the life you want to live.
- How your head works, and how best to handle it, when dealing with change.
- Improving interpersonal effectiveness.
- How to quickly build or strengthen your very best personal brand.
- How to leave a legacy you are tremendously proud of.
The book is a distilled compilation of key learning points I have shared with thousands around the world. The guidance is proven and relevant, and has helped young adults with dreams and aspirations, as well as people of all ages who struggle to deal with frustrations of the head and heart.
The end goal, of course, is to get our heads and hearts aligned. PORTABLE DAD teaches how.
