I Dare You

"You have a four-fold life to live: a body, a brain, a heart and a soul-these are your living tools. To use and develop them is not a task. It is a golden opportunity."--William H. Danforth. William H. Danforth (1870-1956) founder of the Ralston Purina Company and one of the founders of the American Youth Foundation, lived his life by a four-fold philosophy - balancing one's mental, physical, social and spiritual capacities. I Dare You! continues its timeless message based on this philosophy. It also emphasizes the motto of the American Youth Foundation and challenges readers to be "my own self, at my very best, all the time." If written today, the language would be more inclusive, and more illustrations would celebrate the achievements of women in professional as well as traditional leadership roles. We present the original version written in 1931 with examples from that era. The challenge-the Dare to be one's best, to live a four-fold life, and to serve others-is timeless... It is the challenge for which today's youth is waiting. Proceeds from the sale of these books help fund scholarships to the American Youth Foundation's International Leadership Conferences.
