Kalman Magyar is the author of the 2021 book Put Your Pants On and Get to Work – Ten Principles for Zestful Living.  It is available in ebook/kindle, paperback, and audio formats. The book has been a bestseller in various memoir, law, and music-related categories in the U.S. and Canada on Amazon.

Kalman guides readers through his unusual personal history while decoding his ten principles for a zestful life. The adventure begins with his family’s ordeals in war-ravaged Hungary. It continues as a first-generation immigrant in New Jersey. Valuable lessons are drawn from Kalman’s unconventional development in the legal and musical fields. The odyssey is far from smooth, with failures, challenges and missteps along the way.  These experiences form the genesis of the principles that collectively provide a blueprint for living zestfully. All day, every day.

Marissa Stapley, internationally bestselling author, says this about the book:  “A clear, concise and informative instruction manual for life delivered with humour, wisdom and heart. It’s a book I immediately wanted to share and discuss with the people I care about. The format is easy to follow, the writing assured and clear — and you’ll come away feeling as if you just had a discussion with a trusted, knowledgeable friend who has set you on a new path!”  The book features a foreword by Jeremiah Brown, Canadian Olympic Silver medallist in rowing.

The book is also available in Hungarian, titled Kösd Fel a Gatyád és Állj Neki a Munkának – Tíz Alapelv Egy Szívvel-Lélekkel Teli Élethez.
