MEANINGFUL STORIES. PRACTICAL EXERCISES. EXPERT ADVICE.
A book by Sharon Neiss Arbess with David Newton

I am older than I once was. And younger than I’ll be.
Paul Simon, The Boxer.

Hi there,

Do you ever wonder what your older self would say to your younger self? The mistakes that were made. The lessons that were learned.

It’s hard to imagine what will be. When you are going through it all right now.

Personal stories about going through a challenge are way more powerful than any lecture, fictional story, or lesson. It can really affect you.

Especially if you can relate to it.
Introducing The Get Up Book.

What’s on these pages?

I, Sharon Neiss Arbess (that’s me!) am officially welcoming you into my vault! I wrote some pretty unforgettable tales that will reveal the lessons you wish you knew about. Most are true. Others are from my imagination.

“Each story can be related to any teen across the globe with a nod, a smile, and an appreciation of what resiliency really is.” Sharon Neiss Arbess.

Movement Therapist David Newton has created perfectly paired exercises that follow these stories.

“Stories affect us physically, which leads us to encourage the reader to “Get Up” and do something physical after reading, therefore making the story more impactful and meaningful.” David Newton

Who gets the last word? A select few, who I call mentors. They have done some pretty remarkable things in our world and have a few words of advice to share. I love to listen to what they have to say. You will too.

What about you? There is a page after each chapter, especially for you to write down your thoughts as I am sure there will be plenty. But it doesn’t stop there. I want to know what you think. Please feel free to reach out to me directly.

And now for the nasty, but very worthy details:

The Get Up Book was produced with the very best kind of tough love by Borden Communications. Recommended for all human beings, aged 11 and up.
