This book is written by the young actor Chistopher Castile; star cast in the movie Beethoven. A high school student and a professional actor. He work out this book with Susie Shellenberger an editor and she is also an author of almost 41 books.
This book justify it's title "Being you is Most definitely Cool". Yes! It is all about a young teenager "Christopher Castile" life dealing with his teenage life school work, family, friends specially his socialization with other people and he even tackled sensitive topics like sex and drugs. Christopher Castile told his own life journey dealing with "peer pressure" at his age and standing by what he believe in and by living the values his parents taught and instill in him.
By reading this book I' am amaze by how he view the things all around him in a much wider perception. He is pretty, observant, keen to details and have a very wide point of view in the world that he can share and wrote in his book; very much impressive way of analyzing things in that younger age. He also give some pointers and advises how a teenager must deal with the circumstances and events that coming and happening in their life.
This is not listed in the best seller book and I do buy it in a famous mall; in a buy one take one book selling stall only for 99 pesos, you already have two good books to read. The other one that I bought along with this; is the book "Rich in love" by Josephine Humpreys (I'm just saying).
Well, going back, before I do buy this book; I' am experiencing self-doubt, hating myself sometimes and not wanting what the life I currently had, living with complains, felt misunderstood, have a felling of fear of rejection from others and having a hard time dealing with some situations and scenarios in my life but his book taught me to be courageous to be who I'am and accept what I'am as person. As a human being with flaws and making mistakes. This book taught me to understand and love myself. And yes! it help me a lot to know myself better and from here I' am able to deal the things he discussed here in much wiser and confident me.
