{"product_id":"9780470684832","title":"A Gift to my Children: A Father's Lessons for Life and Investing","description":"When I was a boy, my father often pulled me aside to convey lessons intended to build what we generally refer to as \"character\". Often his advice was very simple — work hard, think for yourself, do right by others — but I believe those lessons provided the foundation for everything that has followed in my life. Now that I'm a dad myself, I wanted to put them down in one place, with examples of my own experiences, as a guide to life, adventure, and investing, both for my young daughters and for anyone seeking success in his or her chosen field. I hope that parents will be inspired to give this book to their children, and vice versa, as many of the lessons that I have learned apply not just to young people but to all adults—for example, question everything, never follow the crowd, and beware of boys! \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat a lovely, lovely book! Though I've read all you've written, this one really touched me.  It is, of course, a love letter to your daughters, which is not only a wonderful, meaningful thing to do, but it was filled with exactly the kind of advice all fathers should give. Your new book will stay on my shelf for a long, long time, and I'll be giving it to my own kids to read.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e--\u003cb\u003eNicholas Sparks\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Notebook, Dear John\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Song\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080548761840,"sku":"9780470684832","price":23.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780470684832_p0.jpg?v=1763707212","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780470684832","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
