"Imagine what the world would be like if each person had the opportunity to develop their gifts and turn their gifts and passion into profit." This quote from The Parents' Guide to Raising CEO Kids sets the foundation for what the book will build upon. I do not have children, but this idea hit home for me as a Christian because God gives us our talents and abilities, and it is by using them in our career that we feel fulfilled and happy with our "work."
Authors Jerry and Sarah Cook did more than just write about their feelings on the subject, they performed research and gathered data to back up their beliefs. If only every writer would do that! They included statistics that were staggering, indicating that an adult will work at least 83,200 hours between the ages of 25 and 65. Can you imagine spending that many hours doing something you didn't love? Yuck!
I like how the authors made the information so easy to read and digest. The book was formatted very well and followed a logical approach that was easy to follow. They included headlines of benefits, such as Benefit #3: Hobbies and Talents Can be Turned Into Profitable Ventures, and Benefit #5: Working Toward a Goal Strengthens the Relationship Between Parent and CEO Kid.
This is a great book for parents to help them inspire an entrepreneurial spirit in their children. It's also a good book for adults who want to work in their areas of passion.
