    Feel good book of the yearby David_Zapata

    October 04, 2009: For those of us who grew up without grandfathers this is a great book to pick up for good old fashioned advice on how to live. It has a little more umph because it comes from a wall street big shot but at the same time this is its greatest failing. This guy is high on the hog and can really sit back and enjoy life now that he's at the top but what about all of us at the bottom? Should we be happy being at the bottom and just relax? End of the day I think the author comes off as a bit of hypocrite but does well with the crowd that is already looking to take life a little easier.

    August 08, 2009: This book is a pleasant surprise. I expected something financial.

    The author is succinct, has elegant vocabulary, and is most erudite.

    It is a true gem and he is to be congratulated.
