An Editor's Summary: What advice would you give to a twenty-something years old if they wanted to know how to improve themselves and make a positive contribution to society? This is the question that drives the latest efforts by shoe shiner come author Jamal Lancelot Adams. In #60for1, J.L. Adams is at it again as the humble shoe shiner who asks the important questions about life, love, and God. Dip your cup into the deep well of knowledge that springs forth from Adams's customers, as he waxes philosophic with them while shining up there shoes. Gathered from the endless parade of customers that visit Adams on a daily basis in JFK Airport Terminal 5, he has meticulously sifted through hours upon hours of advice and distilled them down to the 60 most inspiring and beautifully effective (and sometimes surprisingly simple) nuggets of truth.
