Get Up: A collection of short stories, emotional lessons, functional exercises, and mentor memos to help us get up and thrive.

Sharon Neiss Arbess has opened up her "vault" of juicy, gut-wrenching, and humorous experiences from her life and from her 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. Most importantly, each tale is topped off with a lesson that demonstrates how you can Get Up and get through whatever faces you and even become stronger from the process.

David Newton has created perfectly paired exercises that follow Sharon's stories.

Mentors from around the globe have shared a personal lesson, a mantra, or a quote that their teenage self would appreciate hearing ... and so will you.

Each Chapter also has a special space to reflect and connect to one's own thoughts.

Get Up was created especially for all human beings. Recommended for ages 11 and up.
