From Sandy Hook to the World: How One Woman Turned Tragedy into Triumph

NEWTOWN, Conn. - Oct. 21, 2021 - PRLog -- The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement, (www.chooselovemovement.org) a non-profit character social emotional development (CSED) organization, announced today Scarlett Lewis' latest book, From Sandy Hook to the World: How the Choose Love Movement Transforms Lives, available on Amazon.

How does one woman turn a horrific tragedy into a worldwide movement to choose love?

Lewis tells the journey of how she triumphed by creating the Choose Love Movement after the shooting death of her son, Jesse, at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The Choose Love Movement is one of the most successful CSED programs grown organically through word of mouth and now reaching over 2 million children in the United States and around the world.

Lewis is a pioneer of CSED by creating life-span programs for schools, homes, communities and the workplace. She has been speaking to diverse audiences across the US and internationally sharing her message to choose love, and has appeared on national television, radio and other media platforms. In 2021, Scarlett was named a Forbes 50 over 50 Impact Honoree, one of 50 women leading the way with impact and changing their communities and the world.

"I'm so grateful that people are recognizing that we must address escalating issues in our society by being proactive and preventative. We can prevent so much suffering before it begins," says Scarlett Lewis

Bullying, violence, substance abuse, trauma, suicide, and loneliness, are escalating issues in our schools that translate into our society. Lewis shares how Choose Love programs are helping to reduce and prevent the pain and suffering before it starts by addressing the cause of the problems.

From Sandy Hook to the World provides insight into the need for essential life skills, tools, and attitudes to improve and enhance the lives of children and adults everywhere. It explains in simple terms the neuroscience behind the Choose Love Formula (Courage + Gratitude + Forgiveness + Compassion-in-Action = Choosing Love) and how to live life using each character value.
