My thoughts:
This book would make a great gift for the teenager in your life. Mr. Trittin shares his "life success pointers" in areas such as character, relationships and communication, spiritual life, handling adversity, college academics, career selection, love and marriage, and managing finances. One of my favorite quotes from the book is "Remember that moral victories from doing your best can have just as much lasting value as an actual win." (p.44) This is the wisdom I want my children to glean from as they leave the nest and enter the next phase of their lives.
