Where are my Feet?

Searching for Solid Ground.

Life rarely falls apart politely. Where Are My Feet? speaks to the moments when confidence cracks and direction feels unclear. Through personal story, hard lessons, and moments of humor, Paul Carlson invites readers to slow down, take inventory, and learn how to stand with intention again. It is honest, grounded, and written for those who are still standing, still searching, and unwilling to quit.

FINDING MY FEET

Student & Young Adult Edition
17 Simple Truths for Staying Present in a Distracted World

Coming August 2026

Most of us spend years learning lessons we wish someone had taught us sooner. Finding My Feet is my attempt to change that.

Written for teens and young adults, this book takes the ideas from Where Are My Feet? and makes them practical for one of life's most important seasons. You'll learn how to be present, own your choices, and make decisions you'll be proud of years from now.

You can't control everything life throws your way, but you can choose your next step. My hope is that this book helps you take it with confidence.
