Title: Letters from Home
Description: "An informative look at the 10 ways successful people build and sustain wealth    How is it that some people appear to consistently make all the right decisions where money is concerned, while others, who diligently follow the technical advice of financial experts never seem to be able to dig themselves out of debt and build sustainable wealth?  After examining the diverse clientele David Reiser has cultivated over the past 25 years as a professional wealth manager, the authors distilled 10 organic characteristics that separated highly successful individuals and families from those who have continually fared less favorably. These 10 timeless virtues, traditionally taught and modeled by parents and other accessible mentors, have become fundamentally extinct in America. The current generation is increasingly being seduced by pervasive media messages that promote entitlement, instant gratification, and an expectation of fame and wealth regardless of achievement-all of which contributes to a palpable sense of moral and social emptiness in our country. In heartwarming letters to their teenage sons, the authors:    Discuss the importance of each of the 10 virtues, include profiles of compelling role models from within their own lives who personify each of these characteristics.  Interweave life lessons on work, money, attitude and philosophy with real-life success stories. Letters from Home is a decidedly unconventional personal finance book"--
