Tony's Morning - On the Runway is a collection of Tony's Morning's favorite Facebook posts. But unlike a typical collection of essays, the selected content has a purpose, aimed at preparing spiritually and intellectually for young people stepping into life. The book consists of 3 parts: “Packing”, “In the airport lounge”, and “Boarding”, corresponding to the processes a young person must go through before “taking off” on the runway of life, flying into the wide sky.

Tony's vivid, practical, humorous writings stem from the pure heart of someone with extensive experience. He writes about attitude towards learning and knowledge in general, how to deal with challenges when starting work, how to live a meaningful, civilized life… inspiring young people to live to the fullest, every moment. Although the main target audience of the book is young people, older readers can also read it to understand and support their children properly, rather than 'spoiling' them too much, leading to a weak generation, lacking independence. Those who have been working for many years can also look back on their journey, reflecting on whether it's the path they wanted to take, because change is never too late.
