Meet Gary Miller, author of "Taming Chaos”

This program is held at Penllyn Woods Community Building.

This very informal program will give guests an opportunity to chat with a local author about his book.  The fun aspect will be YOU get to ask the questions!

During Gary’s professional career he has had a passion to understand the process of “Decision Making,” he was inspired to write a book about the discipline of “Decision Making.” Making good decisions & assessing risk are essential “life skills” that must be taught, studied and learned. Young adults and teenagers understand that their decisions are not always in their individual best interest.

When brother and sister Jimmy and Carly find a scared, wounded, and huge dog in the woods, they’re not sure whether to risk helping her.  This question launches Carly and Jimmy on an adventure that leads them to learning a revolutionary approach to making decisions. Fast-paced, engaging and fun – teenage readers will close this decision-making fable “Taming Chaos” equipped to tackle difficult life choices with confidence.

This is the first event of Book Chat with the Author Summer Series with Lower Gwynedd Township. Come to the next event on June 21 with author Beth Schulman.
