“Wow, this is truly a beautiful work of art, creation, inspiration and education! I am so happy for you that you created this and excited for the world to receive it. This book is not just for kids, it should be on the bedside table of every adult...” —Bex Rasmus, Mother & Teacher. After 20 years (and counting!) on my own self-care and healing journey I have come to know what I want most for our world. And that is less schedules, no more rat wheels, taking real responsibility for our words and our actions, and having the courage to give something different a shot. There is so much perceived urgency in our world today and so many of us are operating at a pace that isn’t sustainable for our own health and wellbeing; or for humanity. But it’s also immersing our little ones into a world of schedules and disconnection. We have started believing in a culture that is so filled with blame and unhealthy competition that we’ve forgotten the simple things in life. So simple in fact that we often scoff at them and say they’re common sense. But the irony is, simple living isn’t so common. We have relationships breaking down a year into a new marriage. Children suicides. Families, Communities and Countries at war. We’ve forgotten that we are responsible for our words, our actions and what we leave behind in every space. We’ve forgotten that we can choose. We can choose the kind of person we want to be every single moment, every single day. So much more is possible. May this book bring some simple ways back through stories and analogies in a playful and meaningful way. May all our children learn to stay connected to their own Source, to their own magic.

We all make mistakes! We can identify missed opportunities, gaps of knowledge and common sense that, if we had it, would have saved us tons of grief and time. Clark had the same experience. He learned the hard way. We all know that while “the hard way” is not a bad way to learn life’s lessons it can be extremely frustrating. Since he was 10 years old, Clark learned a lot of answers that we all seek (certainly not all) – and after many hours talking with his niece Katelyn answering her questions and helping her avoid many of life’s pitfalls, Clark realized that it was time to “pay it forward” and maybe keep others from having to learn everything the hard way, like most of us do. Clark wrote this book for his niece, Katelyn, her friends, and anyone else looking for some of those answers. With humor, mixed with great advice let Clark be your mentor for all stages of life: Dating (You are who you are. They are who they are. Period!) Weddings (It’s About the Guests, Stupid) Funerals (Be There For Your Friends First! Other Annoying Life Events (What to Say and What to Avoid) In-Laws (Problems? What Problems?) Neighbors (The 30 Year Rule) General Relationship Advice (There is Power in Letting Go from Time to Time) Money (Ask Questions and Be Humble) Career (Never Work Again) General Life Advice (Tell your own story. Open your world to others. As you go through life, remember that you are the only one that controls what you are thinking. Own that and you will own the world.

Jack Newfield has covered it all: he has documented he unfolding drama of the 1960s; followed the boxing careers of Ali and Tyson; taken on city hall; and kept his integrity intact in the rough world of tabloid politics. Somebody's Gotta Tell It is the clear-eyed memoir of a journalist whose love for his country, and passion for his profession, has never wavered. "Fast-written, rat-a-tat-tat memoir." -Chicago Sun Times "Jack Newfield is an old-fashioned newspaperman, skeptical, passionate, and brave. He really tells it in Somebody's Gotta Tell It-an absorbing and appealing memoir of a life committed to honest politics, honest sport, and honest journalism." -Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. "Newfield has made it his life's mission to uncover and share significant truths about important people and events. No one has done the work better, nor described it as well as he has in this brilliant and engaging memoir. This book is a great telling of American history-music, culture, sports, and civil rights." -Mario Cuomo "We count our blessings in having memorable crusaders for social justice who do not let their zeal override their commitment to professional integrity. In the golden company of Lincoln Steffens and Heywood Broun, let's welcome Jack Newfield. He writes with the sharp eye of the trained observer and the engaged heart of the humanist." -Budd Schulberg "In a time when American journalism is getting its shares of slings and arrows, Jack Newfield stands out as a national treasure. I can't think of anyone among us today, as this book amply demonstrates, who brings a more passionate commitment to his craft." -Peter Maas "He does not stop. He is the loudest liberal voice in a time of timid whispers. Always, Newfield's hands plunge into the muck, to pull out the truth. This fine memoir shows how much Newfield has seen, and been involved in, of what happened in our nation. And he tells it to us in the swift sentences of one who knows what he is writing about." -Jimmy Breslin "Enthralling, moving, and sometimes poignant, this book is a must for anyone who cares about the cutting edge of our times." -Richard North Patterson
