Publisher's summary
How many times have we heard a parent say "I did the best I could", yet the tone is that of regret, disappointment, worry, or even heartache about how things have played out? Part of that is the result of unrealistic expectations for sure. Yet, maybe the biggest part is not having a comprehensive, holistic approach to parenting.
Take this journey with Russell Jones as he shares how tragedy forced him to take a closer look at how he should be raising his children. Use it as a guide to see if you might be missing something.
Will this guarantee your child’s success? No, but they will be equipped to deal with what life throws at them. And you will have the peace of mind knowing that you really did "do the best you could".
No regrets.
Let’s get beyond rote techniques to the heart of the matter.
Parents pledge: Every child is special, and I totally commit to mine. I will grow in wisdom and walk the walk of a great parent. I promise to be shade for my children, a shelter from life’s storms. A place where they can grow through the struggles and fears, dreams and tears of everyday. No excuses...it’s done...that’s it, period!

Edward M. Hallowell, MD, father of three and a clinical psychiatrist, has thought long and hard about what makes children feel good about themselves and the world they live in. Now, in The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness, he shares his findings with all of us who care about children. We don't need statistical studies or complicated expert opinions to raise children. What we do need is love, wonder, and the confidence to trust our instincts.

Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

This book is a collection of intimate and sometimes shocking conversations about success. Each story will inspire, enlighten, and entertain you. In Success, not only did I seek to discover what motivates high achievers, but I also dug for the philosophies that lead to success. During these interviews, I asked uncomfortable questions that led to answers that often surprised even the athletes being interviewed, because it is the subconscious mind that drives most ambitious people to achieve.
