This is the perfect book for this time, because it is hopeful. It's not the usual rags to riches story, and its not filled with pablum and bromides. It's the real story of someone who put himself into a position to maximize all parts of his life. It's wise, it's humble, it's funny -- and it's the truth. I've given it to each of my clients to kick off the year. Ostensibly, it is written for my son, for our children, but I found it just as useful as he did -- and he's 23 and I'm 58, and have owned my own business for 18 years.
