The Power of a Fist Bump: And Other Simple Lessons for the Good Life

The Power of a Fist Bump is a guide to "the good life," showing how a few simple principles have the power to foster connection, provide a path for abundant living, and awaken lasting joy.

Zac Bauermaster captured global attention as an elementary school principal giving fist bumps to students in the hallway. Now, drawing from his experience as a principal, husband, father, coach, and Christian, Zac weaves together moving personal stories, biblical insights, and practical tools for living that show how to find connection, fulfillment, hope, and joy.

We all want to live "the good life," but many of us aren't sure what that looks like or how to get there. We live in confusing times that often feel disconnected from what matters most. The good news is that we can learn (or relearn) how to build a flourishing life simply by focusing on the simple principles such as truthfulness, encouragement, integrity, kindness, persistence, and joy.

The Power of a Fist Bump will teach you how to:

Recognize when you're just drifting through your days and become more present and intentional
Take the first courageous step toward a goal or calling, even when you feel afraid or unprepared
Harness the power of community by learning to ask for help and "cross the road" to support others
Identify and release the mental and emotional clutter that weighs you down

By following these lessons from the principal's office, you can discover a life of fulfillment, contentment, and joy.Read less
