• Sommario/riassunto: "One of the greatest sources of pain within families with wealth is the belief that there are no choices. Sometimes even wealth creators who feel more than able in their business lives feel at the same time that their wealth will inevitably become a pernicious influence on their children and grandchildren. The next generation must awaken to the problem of treating financial wealth as more important than it is and therefore not developing a sense of self separate from the wealth.The book will: Explain the challenge that wealth poses to rising generations--the challenge of silence Discuss the "rising generations" and what their future might look like Share strategies that help members of the rising generation find their voices The Voice of the Rising Generation will discuss the successors of family wealth and what they can do to keep focused on human capital rather than putting too much emphasis to the role of financial wealth"--; "This book explains the challenges that family wealth poses to the "rising generation" and shares strategies that help members of that generation find their voices"--
