Hello, My Name Is Life

Book excerpt: If you were to write a list of words that would describe your ideal life, would it contain many houses, luxury vacations, or just being true to yourself? Welcome to the idyllic, privileged and dramatic world of Austin Nelson. Hello, My Name Is LIFE is the engaging personal memoir of a very lively young man finding his place in the world, one dramatic event at a time. From the moment you begin reading, Hello, My Name Is LIFE feels like a personal note from Nelson, lending a sense of familiarity and friendship between author and reader. Apart from Beach Houses and smart cars, Nelson makes it a point to keep it real by sharing his family's struggles through rehab and bipolar disorder, all the while keeping the faith in God. Entertaining, bubbly and at times sad, Nelson successfully presents his world and his own observations on the fragile human psychology and the special relationships that children have with their parents; and at the same time, echoes the sentiments of all the young people in this world in search for purpose and meaning. Life is something everyone goes through. Some seem to have an easy, glamorous life while others always seem to struggle. From the outside, life might look amazing, but no one really knows the inside story until it's told.
