Product Description

It's ironic that as children we spend most of our time pretending we're adults. I was "paying" bills, visiting the doctors, involved in sultry affairs, and driving recklessly at age ten. Yet, it was always a glamorous and simplified version of adult life. Now, as an adult I spend my time pining for childhood. I wish I could sell lemonade on Wednesday morning, ride a tricycle, and run full speed after the ice cream man yelling and screaming in a high pitched voice as he drives off into the mid afternoon.

"Thanks for sharing 'Escape Adulthood.' I wasn't prepared for it to be so good!"
--Lynn Johnston, creator of the comic strip For Better or For Worse

"I've been able to avoid adulthood for 42 years and it has given me a life I love."
--Patch Adams, Gesundheit! Institute

Do you ever have the urge to resign from being an adult? Are you burned out by the stresses that come with being a grown-up and wish you could be six again - far, far away from the mountains of paperwork and mortgage payments, credit card debt and computer crashes? Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you're never going to be six again. But relief is within your grasp, because the secrets of childhood are timeless, and they're available to you right now, no matter how "grown-up" you may be. In this humorous and inspiring book, cartoonist Jason Kotecki invites you to escape adulthood. He uncovers some of the values that come so easily to children, the ones many of us outgrew as we grew up. Filled with funny anecdotes, real-world examples, and practical advice, this book will help you to:

Break free from the stress of the fast-paced rat race to find real happiness.
Discover new opportunities to create financial success for yourself.
Become more energized and productive at home and at work.
Improve your health, decreasing your chances of heart disease and cancer.
Gain peace of mind about the things that worry you most.
Create a family dynamic that is more fun, loving, and supportive.

Author Jason Kotecki is an engaging speaker and the creator of Kim & Jason, the internationally known comic strip about childhood. His humorous insights will leave you encouraged, entertained, and inspired.

You may not be able to be six again, but with this book you will begin to rediscover your childlike spirit, resulting in a more happy and fulfilled life while increasing your chances of changing the world.

I stumbled across the book as I was doing a Google image search in my lunch break. I typed in the word "escape" (you can tell I was up to my eyeballs that day, can't you?!) and the words "Escape from Adulthood" and the picture of the book cover came up. I thought "Hmmm...looks interesting", and here we are now!

I had a quick scan and I'm still happy I bought it! However, I didn't want to maul it too much as it's actually a present for my Dad, so I'll have to get him to give feedback (and maybe let me share it!). He seemed to like it when I presented it - and I think it'll give him some good inspiration, reminders and light relief.

I recently moved to Colorado leaving the only job I have ever known in the hopes of finding a less stressful lifestyle. The problem is all of my worries made it along with the furniture on the moving truck. My wife purchased me your book Escape Adulthood after one of your speaking engagments. Having read the book and a few of the others you recomended I am begining to feel like a kid again. Thanks for all the good advice.
