Slowly but surely the virtues and values we once celebrated—responsibility, resilience, dignity, respect—have been abandoned. Our work ethic has been replaced by an entitlement ethic. And as we lose the cultural traits that brought us to our leadership position, America's standing in the world will surely fall as well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut there \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e good news, say David and Andrea R. Reiser. By rediscovering the qualities that made America great, we can start to turn things around. We can teach our young people—not to mention ourselves, our employees, and our fellow Americans of all ages—what \u003ci\u003etruly\u003c\/i\u003e leads to success, prosperity, and fulfillment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat's what \u003ci\u003eLetters from Home\u003c\/i\u003e is about. Written in the form of letters to the authors' four sons, it explores fifteen basic American virtues that built our country and that foster individual success. Each chapter includes profiles of exceptional \"real people\"—the authors' wealth management clients, friends, and neighbors—who truly walk the talk. A few examples of what the book teaches:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork hard.
