When people think of World of Warcraft, they think of a socially awkward, acne-faced teenager with "no life." Confessions of a Teenage Gamer challenges those stereotypes and shows how a kid from a wealthy family with every opportunity at his fingertips ended up finding himself in a video game. Confessions of a Teenage Gamer is funny in its honest retellings of teenage puberty, witty in its commentary on rich suburban life, and thought provoking in a way that questions the meaning behind success and happiness. This true story draws parallels between sports, music, and video games—and shows how, at the core, they teach many of the same lessons. With a successful spine surgeon for a father, a music teacher for a mother, and a house full of driven, high-achieving siblings, Nicolas Cole's Confessions of a Teenage Gamer shows how far one boy will go to chase his dream of becoming a professional gamer.

As the authors share in the book’s introduction, “These were poems we wrote during some of the busiest years of our lives.” Dr. Matthew Jones was completing his Doctorate program, and Nicolas Cole had just taken the leap from his 9-5 job in advertising, caught in a whirlwind of adventure building a multi-million dollar Thought Leadership Agency for CEOs, Silicon Valley founders, Grammy-winning musicians, Olympians, NYT best-selling authors, and more. Every poem in this book was written in a cab, on the train, in an airport, a hotel room, or a quiet moment between demands from the day.\nWhether you are an expert in zen meditations, or searching for meditations for beginners, Slow Down, Wake Up is a reminder for you to carry with you throughout your busy day. In a quiet moment, flip open to a page, and realize what you are reading was written in a moment no different than yours. This is an invitation to you to slow down, and remember who you truly are.
