About Us

Based on Michael Lisagor's inspiring presentation given to over two thousand high school students, Eleven Life Lessons for Teenagers (and Everyone Else) is a 50-page guide filled with wisdom and insight for teens as well as parents who're looking for help responding to their teenager's concerns.

Intertwined with Mike's honest sharing of his own personal challenges are the answers to eleven of teen’s most pressing questions including making a difference in the world, dealing with depression and anxiety, making mistakes, getting bad grades, improving relationships, taking risks, and finding hope in this challenging world.

Michael Lisagor had a successful management consulting business, has a few degrees and other impressive stuff, gives inspirational talks, and has written hundreds of magazine columns and nine books including Romancing the Buddha (3rd edition), My Fifty Years of Buddhist Practice, and Personal Growth in the Time of COVID. Mike plays piano and harmonica, writes, creates graphic art, and hikes with his wife of almost 55 years on an island in the Pacific Northwest.

Mike believes encouraging and supporting young people will show the greatest return on our investment!
