You have questions about how to conduct your life, but when you look around all you see are people whose actions seem questionable. Sports players, religious figures, politicians, and even friends all seem to make bad decisions. How, then, can you find out how to live in a way that will result in an exciting and productive life? Buck Martinez, who has worked with our youth for more than 40 years, hears questions every day about how to develop strong personal values, how to behave towards others, where to find the personal integrity to do the right thing when everyone else seems to just be going along for the ride. In Straight Talk, Buck offers answers to these questions and many more, and shares the stories of people who made the right choices, in spite of the odds being against them. Topics include managing money, having a great work ethic, becoming a person who lives by strong personal values, behaving responsibly towards the opposite sex, and making intelligent choices about drugs and alcohol use.
