Synopsis
Offering inspirational advice in a down-to-earth style, this unique compilation of letters provides wisdom, guidance, and heartfelt insight to help the reader chart their own path to success. Based on the author's motivational speaking at inner-city schools across the country, the letters deal with the tough issues that face young people today.
Bombarded with messages from music and the media, Harper set out to dispel the stereotypical image of success that young people receive today and instead emphasizes alternative views of what it truly means to be a successful male, such as educational and community achievements and self-respect. Intended to provide this frequently regarded "lost generation" of young men with words of encouragement and guidance, Harper's deep-rooted passion regarding the plight of today's youth drove him to write this book, sure to change the lives of readers for years to come.

This book touched me, so many of the things Harper talked about in the book I can testify to it. The language he uses in the book is understandable even if you have not gone to College or University you can understand it. I reccommend this book to any young brother out there wheather your White, African American, Latino, Asian, any ethinicity it will speak to you this book is readable. Honestly, I saw this book by accident I wasn't even was supposed to be at the book store that night, but I thank God that I was there, because of this I have new leash on life.
Thanks Harper you have touched a life that was deemed untouchable by so many authors who just talked pure bs in books refering to brothas.
This is one of my favorite quotes.
