Description:
Avoid "Shirtsleeves to Shirtsleeves" by Finding Your Voice


Growing up in a family with significant wealth or a family
business can often feel like an exercise in silence. What should
you ask? Whom should you ask? When? Is it ever right to talk about
such things?


The Voice of the Rising Generation speaks directly to
those who find themselves living in that silence, the so-called
"next generation." Great wealth or a family business can act like a
"black hole," sapping the dreams and aspirations of future
generations who feel that they can never measure up to the
fortune's founder. This book, written by a psychologist, an
educator, and a wise counselor who single-handedly changed the
landscape of family wealth, diagnoses with economy and precision
the cause of entitlement and dependency. It is not too much money
or too few chores. It is the failure of rising generations to
individuate, that is, to pursue their dreams, develop their
resilience, and find their voice.


Many books are addressed to parents and grandparents who worry
about the effects of wealth on their descendants. Almost alone in
the field, this book speaks directly to 20-, 30- and 40-somethings,
encouraging them?literally, giving them courage?to meet
the challenge of integrating wealth's power into their lives,
rather than disappearing into the black hole. Readers will:


Come to understand the true causes of entitlement and
dependency

Identify the psychological characteristics of the rising
generation and the challenges proper to its development

Clarify their own dreams, work, and vocation

Navigate personal
