Publisher's Synopsis
Author Don Fredrick, continually astonished by the number of modern-day Americans who seem not to know many of the basic things they should know, shares some of the wisdom he has absorbed since his baby boomer beginnings. With directness, clarity, and wit, he discusses self-esteem, shame, irrational sacrifice, unintended consequences, visions, goals, risk-taking, fairness, acceptance, envy, gratitude, passion, and enthusiasm.
