Michael McCormick’s Reviews > The Education of an American Dreamer: How a Son of Greek Immigrants Learned His Way from a Nebraska Diner to Washington, Wall Street, and Beyond > Status Update

Perhaps the most important thing that I have distilled thus far from reading Mr. Peterson's book, out of the many things I have learned, is the importance of the saying, "to thine own self be true." Mr. Peterson remains true to his values throughout his life and that bedrock of principles carries him from successful point to successful point in his navigation of the river of in his life. I want to be like him.

Maybe one can measure the quality of a memoir like "The Education of An American Dreamer" by how much of a cliffhanger feeling a reader feels while reading it. If that is the case, then Mr. Peterson's book is a thrilling memoir. I have waited 11 years since I bought this book to read it, feeling intimidated by it; but at this point I recommend it to everybody.
