by Julius Henderson (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Why Kids Don't Have Heart Attacks is a tribute to children and their innate ability to cope with circumstances beyond their control. Henderson discusses how children capture the Moment Mentality (Chapter 2, pgs. 25-27,) appreciate a person's uniqueness through Looking at Life's Pictures (Chapter 3, pgs. 32-33,) and value their own self-worth (Chapter4, pgs. 48-50.) The 7 Reasons Why Kids Have Fun While Adults Have Prozac serve as daily reminders for adults, securing self-doubt and settling insecurities. Henderson also describes the "can" language and how this method of youth communication can help adults alleviate excessive life pressures.

Learn from children as Julius Henderson did and discover Why Kids Don't Have Heart Attacks. "This book is about what you are and why so many of us have lost that while trying to find ourselves. I use children, because they are people I know," states Henderson.

About the Author
About Julius Henderson

Julius Henderson, 31, is the President and CEO of the Henderson Group, a service organization that provides training through customer therapy sessions and power enhancement seminars to empower employees with improved communication skills. The Henderson Group, based out of Long Beach, CA, has been providing companies like Pacific Telesis and SBC Communications with employee consultation for over ten years. Henderson founded his company on a simple business premise, " People are employees, and it takes powerful people to make powerful companies." Shockingly, Henderson learned this business fundamental from his extensive experience working with abused children.

As a Peer Counselor in the Los Angeles area and ultimately serving as the Vice-President for the Bay Area Youth Homes in Berkeley, CA, Henderson worked with abused children. He became fascinated with a child's ability to cope with the direst of circumstances. For years Henderson saw first-hand a child's innate ability to bounce back from situations most adults, emotionally and physically, would not be able to recover from. A child's enthusiasm for life and their willingness to accept new experiences drove Henderson to write Why Kids Don't Have Heart Attacks. This book is a tribute to these kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Break the Silence, June 19, 2002

By	Tina Wilson (El Segundo, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The book "Why Kids Don't Have Heart Attacks", was a wonderful book that help me to realize that I am not alone. Throughout the entire book, I could relate to many of the issues, points, and solutions that were given. It inspired me emotionally, physically, and mentally. After reading the first chapter, I started making some positive changes in my life. I felt like this book was personally written for me taking me back to my child-hood years to remember how precious life is. Being a somewhat quiet person, this book broke my silence, and gave me the strentgh to share with others what I was going through. I laughed and I cried from the beginning to the end of this inspirational book. Thank You

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is in its season, divine order and right on time!, June 19, 2002

By	Tracey Lewis (El Segundo, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Initially, when I first purchased this book - I thought.... This book is in its season, divine order and right on time!

Although Julius' angle is perceived to be coming "From a Child's Eye," the concepts and story lines are for today's adults - especially for those who don't know how to relax, enjoy life and as a child would say "do it again!"

Today's adult work 12 hour days, eat poorly, live in front of a computer, not enough exercise (if any), taking in inconsequential television programs - all while trying to maintain interpersonal relationships with family, friends and coworkers. When we can't seem to do it all (live up to the worlds expectations) - we resolve to believe we need Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Serafem, Retlin you name - adults are prescribing to it!

"Why Kids Have Fun, While Adults Take Prozac" is a root stimulator. Stimulating the root systems of adults, igniting their return to the ONLY place where drugs are not needed to enjoy one's life - through the eyes of a child! Children don't hold on to yesterday. They look forward to tomorrow. They don't worry about other peoples opinion. They don't see color lines, size, length, or materials! They are creative, adventurous, jovial and visionaries! Always dreaming, forgiving, hoping and believing and enjoying every waking moment of their lives to the fullest!

After reading / digesting this book, I no longer felt like I had to secretly cry, pretending like I could "HANG!" I've strengthened my organizational skills, I've developed a working plan to prioritize the amount of time and attention I will "selfishly" give. The tool of this book - is a life jacket! Thrown to the Adults of this Millennium - and its right on time!

Julius, thanks for your candidness and obedience!
