I bought the book wondering if my son would read it. (It looked great to me.) I didn't give it as a gift, I just had it on the table. He picked it up, asked "what's this?" Because I didn't want to be shoving 'life instructions' down his throat, I said I had picked it up, didn't know if it was any good, but he could look at it, let me know if it was worthwhile. He disappeared to his room with it, and never gave it back. Months later, I still find him with that book. He even quoted something in the book to his younger brother!
It seemed to give him greater confidence in himself. Now I'm buying one for the younger brother to have as his own. |
