18 Principles has evolved over the life of the program. It was started when David Sabetay wrote the “18 Thoughts To Help You Through Life” as a letter to his son when he was born in 1994. During the evolution of the “18 Thoughts To Help You Through Life” it was transformed into a program for children.

The program discusses friendship, overcoming adversity, and problem solving. As David continued to evolve the program, he added a section about suicide to address the concern about the rising rate within the education system.

Today, David provides workshops and keynote speeches to children and adults that provide a guide for living life.
