Wisdom for My Son and Daughter: A Man Takes a Philosophical Reflection on Life to Help, Guide, and Inspire Society and His Children

by Jonny Oates

Life: what is it all about? Why do we often approach it the wrong way? Why are there so many pitfalls we have to be careful of?
We all want the best for our offspring as they grow into adulthood. We want them to have WISDOM, to learn from our mistakes, to be aware of the wonderful and not-so-wonderful aspects of the world. How can we enhance our life and theirs using positive psychology, knowledge and awareness?
The world is rapidly changing; it has many problems. Wouldn’t life be easier if we were given a manual on the human condition, an operating guide to human emotions including some sound, thought-out advice?
If I were to die tomorrow, what would I leave to help and guide others? Could I reflect on my life and that of others in order to help my children and society?
These are some of the questions the author had in mind in developing Wisdom for My Son and Daughter. The author touches on many subjects of immense interest and sometimes controversy. Psychology, philosophy, science, politics and religion are all looked at in relation to life, with pragmatic reasoning.
This could be the book that gives you the life perspective you need, or a great gift for someone that is struggling in their life.

I was told about this book by a good friend who said it is a book that everyone should read. I bought it for 99 cents and was very pleasantly surprised. It has some great content. Some really healthy ideas on life. I’m going to make my kids read it after they leave school. I think it can really give them some good advice.

Great guide and introduction of the the most important topics in our lifes. I think it covers many valuable topics and explained it easy and compact. “Be humble, be kind, and smile.”

I like the idea of writing down the lessons you hope your children will learn. Reading this book was like one side of a debate. It felt like listening in on one side of a debate. I've always liked listening to others opinions.

I received this book in a Goodreads giveaway.
