I've read worse, but it was a pretty rambling reflection of what he had done with his kids and how he thought they'd turned out pretty sweet so you might want to absorb his wise ways.

It was hard to formulate a call to action in my life based on this meandering collection of stories. I do agree with a few of the more core principles, letting our kids fail more and try to do big adult things more so they learn how to operate independently is a recurring point to his anecdotes.

I did feel like the spinning of early U.S. history was a bit “good ol' days” leaning, but I wasn't as offended too much by that.
