Letters from Home: A Wake-up Call for Success and Wealth
By David R. Reiser, Andrea R. Reiser
Advice for the authors children.
Education.
Hard work. Don't be afraid of change. Listen to feedback. Don't be
afraid to take risks. Integrity. Gratitude. Charity.
I'm
not sure what prompted my wife to buy this book. But it was on the shelf
and I thought that she had said it might be something I'd like. I laid
out a few books that I might read next and let my daughter pick. She
picked this one as it had a sandcastle on the front. Note to self: letting your three year old pick a book out for you to read might not be such a good idea.
First
off this is a book made up of mini biographies of different people in
the authors life that they feel are good examples to their four sons.
You will read heartwarming stories of people going from nothing to leaving a multi-generational trust as their legacy. Many of the stories are about entrepreneurs who took a chance.
I
don't mean to make light of this book as I found myself smiling,
empathizing, laughing; generally enjoying the stories - but who is this
book's target audience? Other than the four Reisner children I just
don't get it. The subtitle is "A wake up call for success and wealth."
I don't know. I will say this book has encouraged me to try and change
to be a bit more grateful and more optimistic.
I couldn't really recommend this book.
