Papa always said if you work hard for something, it's going to feel so rewarding to succeed-and now he wants to share his insights into how to live a successful life with the next generation.

In Life of Papa, Brian Douglas Crookes-"Papa"-brings his infectious positivity to sharing the lessons he's learned through a lifetime of rising to challenges and helping others. From flight training to prison ministry, Papa interweaves Canadian history with family anecdotes to discuss the power of positive reinforcement, holding onto optimism, and putting in the hard work-even on the hard days-in order to see long-term success in our interpersonal relationships, careers, and mental health.

If you're ready to learn from your mistakes, live in the present, and gain (or regain) control over the course of your life, have no fear, Papa's here to guide the way. With kindness, intimacy, and moments of excitement, Life of Papa is sure to inform as it uplifts, sharing a lifetime of wisdom with his grandchildren and their generation.
