Was exactly the same as all of the other books in this genre. Nothing different to say. All of these books are written by family trust advisors. They went to the same schools and have the same advice - advice that keeps them employed. Get professional help or fail! That's their main message. And yet ... the families that seek their help don't avoid the "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations" proverb. I think they are wrong: The minute someone else is managing your money (or raising your children) your family is already on its way out.

Family Fortunes by Bill and Will Bonner is the best I have read in this genre so far.
