Publisher's Summary:
It's time to rediscover America....
Our nation is deteriorating. Slowly but surely the virtues and values we once celebrated - responsibility, resilience, dignity, respect - have been abandoned. Our work ethic has been replaced by an entitlement ethic. And as we lose the cultural traits that brought us to our leadership position, America's standing in the world will surely fall as well.
But there is good news, say David and Andrea R. Reiser. By rediscovering the qualities that made America great, we can start to turn things around. We can teach our young people not to mention ourselves, our employees, and our fellow Americans of all ages what truly leads to success, prosperity, and fulfillment.
That's what Letters from Home is about. Written in the form of letters to the authors' four sons, it explores 15 basic American virtues that built our country and that foster individual success. Each chapter includes profiles of exceptional "real people": the authors' wealth management clients, friends, and neighbors, who truly walk the talk. A few examples of what the book teaches:
Members Reviews:
Every parent should read this book
The Reisers have done a great service to people at this time of turmoil in our society. Their book not only teaches us about unique individuals who contribute so much wisdom to all that they touch, they also show us wonderful role models for our children to follow.
In this permissive society, it is wonderful learn lessons that help us to value people and to live a life of integrety. The stories are not preachy. They are moving. It makes me want to have this kind of people in my life too.
Letters from Home: A Wake-up Call For Success and Wealth
This is a highly recommended read for any parent raising children or adult who is wondering how our society is developing. This is no theoretical text, it is easily readable and the personal stories make the values the authors are emphasizing very real. This is a book that will stay with the reader for quite awhile (hopefully forever) as the topics are timeless. Now, is a time for all of us to emphasize these values and ways of thinking not only in our teaching of children, but modeled in our behavior with other adults. This book will help remind you of what is important. (reviewed also at [...] by Daniel J. DeWitt, PhD)
Time for change!
America is in dire need of restoration! But just how is it possible for us to mend her? Quite simply look back upon our forefathers who built this great nation. They did it with values and virtues. Society today seems to focus on instant gratification and entitlement that is owed them. People no longer want to work hard and save for their reward. They want it and want it now! They overextended themselves and that is what ultimately led to this country's financial downfall and crisis.
This book touches upon all the virtues that seem to be lacking in today's modern society. Values like education, integrity, honesty, self discipline, patience, hard work, kindness, gratitude, and more are discussed. The format of this book is refreshing. It is a series of heartfelt letters to their sons that are based on each of the values and virtues that are needed to provide personal fulfillment and financial wealth. Each chapter is then exemplified by someone the boys are familiar with.
