Jon Shattuck, a former hospital administrator and longtime community volunteer, has released a new book, Choices to Live By, which explores how intentional decision-making can lead to a more fulfilling life. The book is now available and targets readers seeking clarity on personal values and purpose.
Shattuck emphasizes that the book is not a prescriptive manual but an invitation to examine life's fundamental questions. Drawing on his diverse experiences—from manual labor after college to leading grief support groups—he provides a practical framework for navigating challenges. Central to his philosophy is the concept of TWTA, or The Way Things Are, which encourages responding to reality rather than resisting it.
The book covers topics such as truth, love, forgiveness, listening, and humility, with Shattuck sharing personal anecdotes to illustrate his points. These stories, including encounters with individuals who overcame adversity, ground the book's lessons in real-world application.
For readers, Choices to Live By offers a timely reminder that intentional choices, rooted in strong values, can lead to a more authentic and joyful life. It is particularly relevant for parents, educators, counselors, and anyone facing a life transition.
