Mar 28, 2012

Do you want to know the secret to a great life? Jim Langlas, author and Edison State College professor, has seven secrets to share during a book signing and Q&A at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 17. The event will be held in the Seminar Room of the Allen & Marla Weiss Health Sciences Hall on the Collier Campus of Edison State College.

The book, entitled “Heart of a Warrior: 7 Ancient Secrets to a Great Life” is inspired by the ancient Korean history of Hwarang – young student-warriors who worked to strengthen their spirits as well as their fighting skills.

“These principles are rooted in the long-standing tradition of Taekwondo, and these are easily transferred to modern-day character education,” said Langlas. He added that these principles are then divided into four fundamentals. Langlas, who has taught English for more than 30 years and has practiced Taekwondo for more than 40 years, included in the back of the book a special leader’s guide that offers tips on using the book with teenagers.

“The book is a mix of storytelling and writing from my former students,” he said. “I wanted readers to see for themselves how these principles and fundamentals can be applied to everyday life.”

The book is also available for purchase online at www.freespirit.com.
