Reflections from a Different Journey

Co-authored by my friend (and sometimes co-author) John Kemp, this book is subtitled “What Adults With Disabilities Wish All Parents Knew”. From my perspective this is a collection of stories by 40 successful adults…who grew up with disabilities.

Money Mama and the Three Little Pigs

Lori Mackey’s enthusiasm for teaching kids about giving, investing, saving and spending comes through loud and clear! The piggy bank is a big hit with all the little guys who have received it as a gift from me.

The Success Principles

Great collection of theory and practice to help anybody get anywhere they want to go in this life.

Flow

Subtitled “The Psychology of Optimal Experience” is not a ‘How To’ but a deeper look at that state in which we are so captivated by a challenging activity that it seems both effortless and timeless.

Nuts!

Just because I’m such a fan of Southwest Air … and Herb and Colleen!

The Wisdom Paradox

Great news! Even though learning is lightening fast when we’re little kids there are parts of our brains that actually improve with age!

Human Accomplishment

Did you know that given comparable abilities in each, humans are ‘hard wired’ to prefer more challenging activities over easy ones?

The Millionaire's Secret

Inspiring life story from friend, entrepreneur, literacy advocate – and former Kirby vacuum salesman.

Children Learn What They Live

A classic. Warm, insightful, reassuring. Reminds us that what we do matters.

The Power of Focus

Great combination of motivation and techniques to help ‘keep your eyes on the prize’ while taking small, manageable steps to reach it.

The Essential 55

Think you’ve got a lot of rules? Enjoy the story of how a former teacher of the year expected ‘too much’ from his students – and got it!

Parenting With Love and Logic

Practical, down to earth approach from the guy who coined the term ‘Helicopter Parents’. I’m a big fan of Jim Fay’s work.

The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons

Long before ‘The Secret’ … There was Law of Success.

Lost in the System

Featured in What Kids Need To Succeed, this is Charlotte’s Story of life in foster care – In-depth and in her own words.

Simple Wisdom for Rich Living

A lovely book by the Laundress who, at age 87, donated $150,000 to the University of Mississippi.

Hidden Messages

I think this is my favorite Elizabeth Pantley book. Good reminders. Sometimes what we’re doing speaks so loudly that it drowns out what we are trying to say to our kids…

Rambam's Ladder

Subtitled ‘A Meditation On Generosity And Why It Is Necessary To Give’. I love this book and recommend it to anyone who is involved in fundraising.

The Fred Factor

Mail carrier Fred always gives more than what is required and or expected. Don’t you want to become “A Fred”?
