A Book for the Ones Still Fighting for Our Youth
You already know something’s broken.
This book shows you how to fix it.
We’re living in a time when young people are more connected than ever—but lonelier, more anxious, and more directionless than we’ve seen in generations. Tomorrow’s Youth is the raw, honest, and hope-filled playbook you’ve been waiting for.
If you're a parent, teacher, coach, mentor, or youth leader trying to reach the next generation—this is your wake-up call and your blueprint.
What’s Inside?
Real Problems. Real Hope. Real Tools.
Based on over 2,500 interviews with young people ages 15–26 and years of front-line experience in youth development, James McLamb tackles the three core crises facing our youth today:
Self-Image
- Why 85% of teens battle self-perception daily
- How social media, peer pressure, and perfectionism are warping identity
- Tools to help youth reclaim their worth and confidence
Relationships
- Why the “most connected” generation feels the most alone
- How to teach youth real relationship skills in a filtered, swipe-right culture
- Strategies to replace bullying, isolation, and shallow friendships with depth
Purpose & Goal Setting
- Why youth feel lost when looking toward the future
- The cure for apathy, fear of failure, and lack of direction
- How to help them dream big and actually make a plan
Each section ends with powerful reflection questions to help you apply what you’ve learned immediately—on the field, in the classroom, around the dinner table, or one-on-one with a teen who’s struggling.
