51��ɫ education professor Marc Pierre Bonis shares reflections, observations, and poems over a 50-year period in his new book, “100 Scribblings.” Bonis is an assistant professor of human performance and health promotion in the School of Education.

At a time when more people are attuned to their own mental health and self-reflection, Bonis’ book invites readers to explore the depths of their own personal journeys. The 100 entries give readers insight into the author’s evolving perspectives and unwavering principles throughout a half century.

At 77 years old, the New Orleans native brings a wealth of life experience to his writing. His career includes stints in the petroleum industry and telecommunications; he retired from BellSouth as assistant to the president of Louisiana in 2000. Bonis pursued his Ph.D. in human performance and health promotion from the 51��ɫ after retirement. He currently teaches exercise science and graduate statistics courses at UNO.

Bonis’ previous works include “The Fat Old Man’s Guide to Health and Fitness” and “City of Grasshoppers.”

“100 Scribblings” reveals that Bonis found solace in writing as a means to process and express his thoughts. The compilation of these writings from a desk drawer serves as a testament to the author's journey of maintaining balance and positive mental health throughout his life.

Published by Atticus Publishing, “100 Scribblings” is available for purchase on Amazon and at other major retailers.
