A modern interpretation of ancient wisdom and classic traditions, THE ADVENTURER’S HANDBOOK provides an actionable guide to developing the personal virtues that create a fulfilling and successful life.

Lake Forest,United States - September 13, 2022 /PressCable/ —
Best-selling Amazon author Chris Sorensen announced the release of his latest book, The Adventurer’s Handbook: A Young Adult’s Guide to Enlightenment. His book will launch on Amazon today.
In a time when virtue is conspicuously absent from the public square, The Adventurer’s Handbook helps young adults develop a strong moral compass with which to chart their life’s course.
Throughout history, all cultures have recognized the importance of personal virtues such as Self Mastery, Courage, and Honor to living a happy, successful, and noble life. It is one’s commitment to virtue that defines one’s character and moral excellence as a person.
The Adventurer’s Handbook introduces the 25 Timeless Virtues espoused by sages and philosophers throughout history, including the ancient Greek Stoics, Zen Masters, Native American shamans, and America’s founding fathers.
These time-honored teachings have been carefully collected from across many diverse traditions including classic literature, folklore, American and world history, as well as sacred texts including the Bible, the Quran, and the Tao Te Ching.
Each virtue is exemplified through well-loved stories about heroes and villains, and ordinary people persevering through extraordinary circumstances.
“Your life can be a challenge or a great adventure – it can be whatever you decide to make it,” says Sorensen. “As you practice the Timeless Virtues you will increase your power of self-determination, and you will attract high-quality relationships with other virtuous people who can help you achieve extraordinary success,”
The Adventurer’s Handbook was written as a resource to support The Adventurer’s Club, a community of explorers, doers, and achievers organized under The Present Dad Foundation (www.ThePresentDad.com) founded by former NFL player George Jones. The Foundation provides fatherless youth with the guidance and support Jones himself never had.
According to a study by the National Fatherhood Initiative, the lack of a father’s guidance in their children’s lives is the leading contributor to many of society’s problems. The many negative impacts of absent fathers on society are estimated to cost American taxpayers $100 Billion annually.
The mission of the Adventurer’s Club and The Adventurer’s Handbook is to teach young adults how they can make their lives an exciting and rewarding adventure.
Advance Praise for The Adventurer’s Handbook
“I wish that all young men and women would read this book, and learn how to embrace the 25 Timeless Virtues. These are the qualities that have helped me overcome every difficult obstacle in my life and allowed me to reach the NFL. If there is anything I can pass on to the next generation, it is this: Be a person of unquestionable and unblemished virtue and character. It is one of the few things in life that is completely under your own control, and it is the most important factor that will determine not only where you will go in life, but also who will go with you, and how much you will enjoy the journey.”
– George Jones, CEO of The Present Dad Foundation, NFL Player
