Life hacks? We got ‘em: What if I’m underage and the party is busted🍺? How can I become a millionaire🤑? Is this a scam🤔? We will feast on all the “knowledge-nuggets” you need to succeed, like insurance, healthcare, etiquette, first aid and beyond. CommonSensei is a NO BS 💩 approach to “adulting” empowered by my very own spin on Japanese methodology.    

Your homework: Netflix and iTunes 📝😀.  Since film and music are timeless gateways, you will be streaming movies that kick ass aka Kickin’ Flicks 🎬 and downloading meaningful songs 🎶 on the Punchin’ Playlist👊. No generation is off limits.  Along the way you’ll enjoy WTF facts and trivia side notes duly named Sensei Says🥋.  In between chapters are motivational truth 💣’s called Slay the Day⚔: how to live healthy, wealthy, and wise. Throughout this self-help “book of books,” you will have access to my family’s 50-year-old formula of smashing🔨goals through my “Martial SMARTS” experience.  In the end, you will earn a black belt in the most uncommon degree🎓: Common Sense.   

Welcome to my dojo of life skills, a place to learn everything they should be teaching you in school but don’t, from a legit Sensei of “The Way.” 

Sensei Says🥋:  A dojo literally means “place of the way,” not karate school 😉. Dō (道) is pronounced like cookie “dough.”  This book shares my “dō,” or “Violosophy.”

Punchin’ Playlist👊: Let’s set the tone with “Best Life,” by Cardi B.  Chance the Rapper hits us with the intro, “I’m living’ my best life / Made a couple Ms with my best friends / Turned all my Ls into lessons.” FYI:  Instagram has over 2 million #liveyourbestlife tags and a quick Google search reveals over 10 billion hits in 0.47 seconds. It’s about “your” movement: Your values, your goals, and your destiny. BE YOU! DO YOU! FOR YOU!

Sensei Says🥋: Emoji (絵文字) will be used throughout the book to add a dash of personality and emotion to my thoughts. Emoji is actually a Japanese creation meaning “picture.”
