Across the Span of Life
Common sense advice for high school & college students, their parents, teachers... and everybody else
An easy-to-read compilation of ageless wisdom for personal growth. Mario draws from thirty years’ experience as a global diplomat —and his learnings as a father, husband, son, lawyer, political scientist, public speaker, professor, writer, photographer, long-distance runner, deep-sea diver, and mountain climber— to offer a connecting thread of self-realization. The reader meets forty-five interconnected pieces of common-sense advise that he has shared with high-school and college students in the international arena. Curated images provide further layers of meaning to short chapters (ranging from one to five pages) where compelling arguments, science-based data, and inspiring anecdotes underpin a page-turning narrative of didactic and amusing insights for everyone at home and in school. Across the Span of Life is being published simultaneously in Spanish with the title A través del arco de la vida.
