Hi Ken,
I received your book the other day, haven't finished it yet but it is so endearing and profound. Your daughter is a lucky little girl to have a dad like you, not to mention that she is quite the beauty! Thank you again. Send a copy to Oprah...you'll make millions, then you help publish mine. Warm regards, Jane

Description:
"Hold Daddy's Hand is written from the point of view of a father guiding his daughter through our complex world, using lessons from his own successes and failures, powered by the strength of his love.
It was written to be inspirational, emotional, instructional and entertaining. Style wise it is more reminiscent of Letters to My Son by Ken Nerbern than Chicken Soup for the Father and Daughter Soul.
The strengths of the book lie in the diverse experiences of the father; having lived for a short time on the wrong side of the tracks, then searching for spiritual meaning in his life, working creatively in music, writing and art and also starting and managing several small businesses.
This book is unique in that it has an overall theme of living consciously and recognizing social conditioning. The book spends ample time unraveling our deeply held, "core beliefs" and motivations, especially in spiritual matters, without criticizing any popular beliefs or religions.
Time is spent on a variety of subjects not normally covered together in one book: Religion and spirituality, tips for being self employed, new ideas on financial management, the pitfalls of drugs and alcohol, subconscious programming, and a celebration of the differences between women and men.
These subjects are "grounded" by some traditional dialogue on marriage, sex, peer pressure, sports, education, responsibility and finding a purpose in life. There is even a short section of prose and poetry at the end inspired by the author's daughter. It reads like a long, interesting-sometimes intense-fireside chat.
Some tidbits of hand-holding
- The value of finding a higher purpose in your work and personal life
- Getting to "core truths," and the amazing effect it will have on your life
- Some time honored secrets to investing and managing your money
- Some simple wisdom from your great grandparents
- Taking 100% responsibility for everything in your life
- The secret to "not quitting"
