October is a big birthday month in the prompt’d family, so we decided to round up some of our favorite pieces of advice from the Birthday Books we have worked on this year. As you probably know, we prompt those near and dear to the birthday person and collect their stories, memories and advice. One of the prompts is as follows:
What one piece of unsolicited advice would you offer [insert name] for the next [xx] years?
Below are our favorite pieces of advice that can be applied to any person, any birthday.
