About The Author

Harold L. Koch brings decades of observation, scholarship, and lived experience to the complex world of family relationships. With a Doctorate in Business Administration, he combines rigorous academic study with practical insight, exploring how families navigate belief, conflict, and connection.

At eighty-four, Harold writes from a perspective few can match. He has raised three children, guided fifteen grandchildren, and watched over twenty-one great-grandchildren grow. These multi-generational experiences inform his work, giving him unique insight into the challenges aging parents face when communicating with adult children.

His most recent book, How Can We Talk With Adult Children (50–70 Yrs. Old) About Today’s Lunacy Caused by Religion, Government, and Society?, reflects this expertise. The book presents a structured, data-driven “Blueprint” for guiding difficult conversations, blending historical, scientific, and statistical evidence with practical communication strategies. Harold’s approach empowers parents to plan, prepare, and engage thoughtfully, turning potential conflict into understanding and connection.

Harold identifies as a nonpartisan Deist, valuing logic, facts, and preparation over emotion. He balances empirical reasoning with empathy, making his guidance actionable for families navigating ideological divides or generational tension.

Beyond this book, his autobiography, An Ordinary Life – It’s Almost Too Much Trouble, chronicles a life shaped by perseverance, teaching, and observation. His ongoing scholarship—studying scientific literature, societal trends, and family dynamics—ensures that his advice remains relevant, accurate, and deeply informed.
