A must-read!

This book is NOT just for teachers. Parents, please read it! It should be required reading for anyone who influences young people. Rafe has experience and wisdom essential to raising kids who are strong in character and mind. I was disappointed when it ended and will be listening again, and buying a physical copy to take notes. There are so many movies, books, and resources listed, with life and character conversation suggestions. When asked who I’d want to have lunch with if I could choose anyone, he would be one of the contenders. Don’t hesitate!

Great insights

Love the philosophy, the practical points. It's an inspiration for people that are involved with children.
The narrator did a great job too.

Insightful

Rafe is a wonderful teach. You will learn a lot from this book about building character in children.
