Very long and repetitive. Some good advice, but poorly written. Reads more like a podcast narrative than an edited book. Written as an outpouring of advice to his three children. He conceived of the idea after having a stroke and worried that he might not have conveyed all he wanted to his children. I read this hoping I could have my kids peruse it someday, but decided against that near the beginning. Very modern writing, which I generally find to be annoying because it lacks erudition and eloquence. Better off reading the classics.

This is an awesome book!!! Being a follower of Hal Elrod got me interested in this book and it is refreshing to know that I am doing some of the right things that successful people do like journaling, reading and meditation. When you commit yourself it seems like everything else improves. Great read!
