"Absolutely phenomenal. It gave me nostalgia reading and reflecting on similar wisdom passed down by my parents and grandparents. It also gave me contemporary gems that I plan on directly applying in my current life for where I'm headed."
- R. BOULDIN
Each chapter of this book is a personal account of some life lessons to offer a little guidance, perspective, and hope to young people as they traverse this new World.
Aaron weaves in stories from obstacles, impediments, and stumbling blocks in his life, then offers practical and pragmatic ways so you, too, can break through these challenges to "Suspend Your Disbelief."
This is his giveback to thank the family, mentors, teachers, and supporters throughout his life, then and now, and to give a little extra hope and inspiration to the next generation.
"Suspend your Disbelief, by Aaron Montgomery, is a stinking thinking buster! It was equivalent to having a come to Jesus moment with a wise grandparent. This short read was full of actionable recommendations in the form of life hacks that induce productivity, gratitude, and noteworthy reflection."
- L. ALLEN
"Aaron's gift of 'simplification' is on full display here."
- S. McFADDEN
"I love how each chapter is short, sweet, and to the point, but also very personable. I really enjoyed reading it. [Aaron] portrays confidence and humility, seriousness and humor, and shares lessons that are valuable in your life personally and profesionally."
- T. ULRICH
"These lessons are perfect for the time that children/young adults are coming into their own and told in a way that doesn't feel preachy. This book is nothing like a "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul" — one that parents would buy and children would cringe at. It's real and fun and even funny at times. I love the little comics. They add a playful nature that keeps the morals feeling light and approachable."
- R. CHANDLER-DOVIS
"Your sense of humor (can see the smile as I read) and true insight come through loud and clear. There is wisdom in the pages, and lessons for all."
- P. MOSS
"Parents, aunts, uncles, etc. all seem so busy these days...they don't sit teens down and have meaty conversations with them, and go into detail the way you did in this book. Thank you."
- D. MONTGOMERY
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Aaron grew up finding himself in unfamiliar situations in which he had to learn to navigate largely on his own. Whether it was a new school, a new job, or even a new neighborhood, he was often the first, and/or the only person who was “like him.” The one place that Aaron felt that he could relate was through characters in stories he grew up reading. He could never get enough and would devour books one after another.
Throughout life, Aaron has continually prided himself on taking action. He loves to actually do things that he talks about and not just dream about it - traveling, flying, racing cars, riding motorcycles and now, writing a book!
Aaron wrote Suspend Your Belief to help others learn the importance that every experience is an opportunity to grow, learn, and share and that by sharing your knowledge you can help others on the way too. The book acts as a framework, a tool to help you think about your own life and the lessons you’re gaining from it in real-time. Aaron shares his stories not just to teach you, but to help you draw out the inspiration for your own stories and lessons.
